A rich and creamy rice pudding brightened with fresh orange zest and juice, offering a comforting yet refreshing twist on a classic dessert.

Ingredients

  • Short-grain rice: 1/2 cup – releases starch as it cooks, creating a creamy texture.
  • Whole milk: 4 cups – the richness forms the base of the pudding.
  • Granulated sugar: 1/3 cup – brings gentle sweetness without overpowering the citrus.
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon – adds depth and rounds out flavors.
  • Orange zest: 1 tablespoon – infuses the pudding with vibrant citrus notes.
  • Fresh orange juice: 1/4 cup – enhances brightness and balances the creaminess.
  • Salt: pinch – intensifies all the other flavors.
  • Butter: 1 tablespoon – gives the pudding a silky finish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Set a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and prepare all ingredients.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add rice, milk, and a pinch of salt into the saucepan and stir to blend.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once milk begins to steam, reduce heat to low and stir regularly to avoid sticking.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice is tender and mixture thickens.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Stir in sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove from heat and fold in orange zest and juice.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon into bowls, serve warm or chilled, and garnish with orange zest if desired.

Notes

  • Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure creaminess.
  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor.
  • Add a splash of milk if reheating leftovers.
