I Tried Nara Smith's Favorite Childhood Dessert, and It Was So Comforting

It’s the perfect midnight snack.

Nara Smithis one of my “comfort” creators on TikTok.

Her beautifully curated life is dreamy, and every from-scratch recipe she makes looks fantastic.

I hadn’t attempted to make her recipes at home until this one popped across my FYP.

Her take on the German rice pudding she loved as a child looked too delicious not to try.

We put herMilchreis (German rice pudding)recipe to the test, and here’s what I thought.

What does Milchreis Taste Like?

This rice pudding is rich and creamy with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.

Nara’s addition of the raspberry compote was fantastic.

The tanginess of the lemon and raspberries helped cut through the richness of the pudding.

It was a wonderful flavor combination.

I really loved this dessert.

Each bite was the perfect combination of creamy vanilla pudding and tangy raspberry flavor.

I had never had rice pudding (or raspberry compote!)

served hot before, and that tip has changed the way I’ll serve it moving forward.

It was so much better than cold!

If you want a comforting,nostalgic dessert, this is the recipe to try.
