You can create a healthier version of Ambrosia, a traditional summer dessert favorite, by simply substituting rice pudding for sour cream as the main ingredient. According to dairy dessert executive Joanne Caridi, rice pudding, a good source of calcium, also provides daily values of protein and carbohydrates.

Caridi is offering recipes that include quick and simple desserts. Many of these use low fat puddings and fruit combinations that provide delicious ways to enjoy dessert, and obtain good nutritional value as well. The information is in ”Celebrate Summer,” a free illustrated brochure (call 1-877-905-6962). Booklet also contains coupon for Kozy Shack® pudding.

Caridi also points out that the pudding recipes are perfect for summer entertaining. “They require no baking, and are ready to serve in just minutes. Most are created with fewer than five ingredients, already on hand in most kitchens. And they can also be tailored to your personal taste preference. You can create a signature dessert just by selecting your favorite pudding flavor and fruit.”

She recommends rice pudding ambrosia as an ideal way to enjoy a delicious warm weather treat that delivers important nutrients and requires minimum preparation.
