Diner-style Rice Pudding Cheesecake

Allison Robicelli’s recipe for Rice Pudding Cheesecake Pie, had us diving right in. Then we realized while her version is amazing, perhaps it was missing a little something? What good is rice pudding without a bit of cinnamon, vanilla, and dried fruit, so we added a little spice and some California Prunes, and created diner-inspired dessert perfection.

Think rice pudding cake sounds a little out there? Consider that in Italy both savory and sweet versions of torta di riso – a cake made of rice and custard on a crust of crushed cookies or breadcrumbs – have been enjoyed for decades.
