Baked Rice Pudding

I know it's strange, but my mom HATES rice pudding. She even gets a sour look on her face when my dad and I talk about it. Dad claims that he hasn't eaten rice pudding since they got married (about 25 years) and is rather sad now that he's a diabetic.
Well, mom's gone. She's vacationing with my aunt and grandmother in BC and wont be back for 2 weeks. It's the perfect time for me to test my baking skills and try to come up with a sugar-substitute concoction.
I picked up some "Sugar Twin-brown sugar" and we have some regular "Splenda" in the cubbord. Dad likes his rice pudding baked and not too liquidy with raisins, nutmeg and cinimon. Unfortunately I'm at a loss for a recipe.
Does anyone have a favourite recipe that they might be willing to share??? It can have sugar in it, the sugar twin and splenda both are equal measurements to sugar. I just don't trust random internet site recipies anymore.
