Freezing
To freeze rice pudding, allow it to cool completely. Portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before gently reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave. Note that the texture may become slightly softer after freezing, especially if it contains fresh fruit or dairy.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell, distinct from its usual sweet aroma.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
- A slimy or watery texture, indicating bacterial activity.
