Puddings need eggs to help them set. However, you can limit the yolks to one and use more high-protein whites. Bake the pudding in a water bath, or bain-marie, to keep it from cooking too fast and curdling. Adding rice, fruit, nuts or bread increases flavor and vitamins.

Prep 12 minutes
Cooking time: 30 to 35 minutes

You Will Need
1/2 cup orange juice
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
3 egg whites
vegetable oil cooking spray

What to Do
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, mix the orange juice with the egg yolk, honey and vanilla extract.

2. Stir in the cooked rice, raisins and toasted walnuts. In another bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then carefully fold into the mixture with a large metal spoon.

3. Pour into 4 custard dishes that have been lightly coated with vegetable oil spray or lightly greased with vegetable oil.

4. Place custard dishes in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan and carefully add boiling water to the baking pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until just set.

TIP: Check the water in the bain-marie during cooking, and fill up as necessary to prevent it from boiling away.
