While at my brother's house, we were trying to come up with a last-minute dessert that we could make with items we had on hand. I had a recipe for rice pudding that looked very easy and sounded pretty good. As we started putting it together, we found that we had to substitute a couple of items but it really turned out very good. This is what we came up with.
