long-grain rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: white rice

Brown rice offers more fiber.

Measure 2 cups of white rice; this will yield about 4 to 4.5 cups of cooked rice.

Whip 1.5 cups of heavy cream until fluffy.

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to the whipped cream; whip again to mix well.

Combine the whipped cream with the cooked rice in a bowl, mixing in little batches for easier stirring.

Taste the mixture; it should be slightly sweet, as this dish is often served as a side and not overly sweet.

Optionally, add maraschino cherries or other fruits to the mixture for added flavor.

Serve the heavenly rice warm or at room temperature.
