Use less liquid than usual since the soda is thicker than water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: The Cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate unit, combine Cream of Rice, water, and half a can of sweetened condensed milk (poured from a &#8220;bent can&#8221; spout). Microwave and cook until it bubbles up and develops a brown, souffle-like top. \ud83c\udf6e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: The Fusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combine the Dr. Pepper rice and the cream mixture. Add just enough water to reheat and stir until you reach that perfect, scoopable pudding consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;Run-Out&#8221; Teaser \ud83d\uded2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you run out of condensed milk, grab these for a version that&#8217;s better than you&#8217;d ever expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>[Peanut Butter](ca:\/\/s?q=Why_peanut_butter_works_in_pudding)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>[Whipped Marshmallow](ca:\/\/s?q=Marshmallow_as_condensed_milk_replacement)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>[Nido Milk Drink](ca:\/\/s?q=What_is_Nido_milk_powder)<\/strong> (with a dash of soy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>[Instant Tapioca](ca:\/\/s?q=Instant_tapioca_in_thickening)<\/strong> (A total must-have!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Conclusion: The Life-Saver \ud83e\udd64<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need an extreme hangover cure? A soft-serve milkshake can be made by mixing sweetened condensed milk and water in a water bottle. Freeze it and shake it up (frozen or unfrozen) for that perfect McDonald&#8217;s-style texture. Between that and this rice pudding, you\u2019ll never have the shakes again!
