help - rice pud emergency!!

[crisgal]

i was just about to put my rice pudding in the oven when i realised i've no sugar at all!
I've got desiccated coconut and syrup - do you think these would be any good? Can I add sugar after it's cooked? Help!

Put the sugar in later. The thoughts of coconut or syrup in a rice pudding,no.

[crisgal]

wow - speedy answer! thanks! x

actually, i once had some coconut rice with bananas in a thai restaurant. It was delicious, but I wouldn't know how to make it!
I have just found icing sugar - would that work, oldwoman?

[beryllium]

could you nip next door and ask for a cup of sugar :-)

crisgal - I would bravely try the icing sugar if I were making it:) Isn't it just regular sugar ground finer?

[oldwoman]

I have used icing sugar in an emergency, but mix it with liquid first eg milk or water.

[crisgal]

i'll go for the icing sugar I think - cheers all! x

just to let you know, the icing sugar was out of date, so my hubby brought some ordinary sugar in, and i added it after the pud was cooked. It was delish!!
