Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Cooked rice
Forms the creamy body of the pudding as it simmers with the milk.
Milk
Provides the liquid that the rice absorbs, creating a soft, creamy texture.
Whipping cream
Adds fat and airiness, making the chilled pudding lighter and richer.
Orange flavor gelatin
Sets the mixture so it holds its shape when unmolded.
Mandarin orange segments
Add fruit flavor and moisture to the pudding.

The step that matters

Simmer the rice until thick and creamy. Rice must cook long enough to soften and release starch, which thickens the milk. Stirring frequently prevents scorching on the pan bottom and gives an even, creamy texture before the gelatin is added.
