Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100g) uncooked white rice (medium or long grain)
- 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) half-and-half (or heavy cream for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup (80g) raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Add Milk Mixture: Add the whole milk, half-and-half, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- Simmer the Pudding: Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes creamy. Be sure to stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (if using). Add the raisins and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the warm rice pudding into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm or chilled, as desired.
