Serving

Rice Pudding as a dessert, can be served in Parfait Glasses or Wine Glasses for a fancy dessert, or just in a plain bowl. For fun - it can be served in a shooter glass or just a small juice glass.

If you plan on layering the dessert ingredients (fruits) as in a simple fruit salad recipe - a clear glass makes a more appealing presentation, especially for company.
