Rice pudding is one of these frugal dessert secret weapons the whole family will always love. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also the perfect way to quickly whip up a dessert right out of the pantry. This cherry rice pudding is very creamy, with a strong vanilla flavor. It’s pure bliss when served warm, but you can also enjoy it well chilled after 1 hour in the refrigerator. For this recipe, we recommend Amarena cherries: small, sour, dark-colored cherries usually bottled in grappa or brandy and packed in cherry syrup, commonly used to top desserts. You can substitute them with regular cherries in syrup, which are milder in taste.
