Rice Pudding
Creamy, comforting, and spiced just right, this rice pudding brings back nostalgic flavors in every spoonful. Perfect warm or chilled.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup short-grain white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your saucepan over medium-low heat.
- In the saucepan, combine rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Stir gently to mix.
- While the mixture heats, separate the egg yolk into a bowl and lightly beat it. Set aside.
- Once the milk begins to bubble and rice softens (about 25 minutes), ladle a small amount of the hot mixture into the yolk to temper it, stirring constantly.
- Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Add cream, vanilla, and raisins. Simmer another 5 to 10 minutes until thick and creamy.
- Sprinkle in cinnamon. Stir and taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Spoon into bowls and serve warm or chilled. Garnish as desired.
Notes
- Stir often to prevent the rice from sticking or burning.
- Use short-grain rice for the creamiest result.
- Add extra milk before reheating if pudding becomes too thick.
- For a flavor twist, try adding citrus zest or nutmeg.
