Easy Rice Pudding

"Ok i've got to come to the rescue of the original poster here... this *is* a tasty way to make rice pudding (albeit time-consuming).

"I made this recipe to see for myself if it would work. After the arduous task of stirring every 20 minutes for 2 hours, and then letting it set for 30 minutes, the pudding was still soup. Finally, det..." See moreermined to eat dessert, I whisked in 2 eggs, and cooked it on the stovetop the old fashioned way. It thickened right up in about 5 minutes. Then it tasted great! I recommend using the stovetop method for easier rice pudding."
