Traditional rice pudding is gloppy, white, and studded with raisins. By contrast, this one is
made with black rice, traditionally used in Indian and Thai desserts. In addition to being more glamorous than the traditional version, this pudding contains star anise, which might be a novel flavor for your kids. Another perk of this dish is that it gives kids a chance to eat a familiar food (rice) in a totally different presentation.
