Rice pudding to me is a comfort food. The creaminess and the strong taste of cinnamon just warms me through and through. I love adding fresh fruit to the pudding, my favorite being strawberries, but raspberries and blackberries are delicious as well. I know this is more of a dessert than anything, but I do enjoy having this for breakfast. I remember as a kid having rice for breakfast. You would add milk, brown sugar and raisins to the rice and that was breakfast. I still eat it that way today. This recipe is a creamier version of what I had as a kid.
