Puddings & Whips

Not Rice Pudding (serves 4)

2 cup grated peeled or unpeeled zucchini
2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons Splenda

Squeeze zucchini between paper towels weighted with a heavy plate, for several hours (Unpeeled zucchini will look less like rice, but there's no taste difference.) discard paper towels. Beat together the eggs and cream. Add remaining ingredients. Turn into buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Microwave for 10 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes. Serve warm or cold. For thicker pudding, mix 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum with cinnamon, nutmeg, and splenda, before adding dry ingredients to eggs and cream. Makes a nice dessert or breakfast.
