How to Make Abby's Rice Pudding

  1. Rinse 1 cup of Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender but not mushy.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of whole milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  5. Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the milk is thickened and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  7. Let cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  8. Serve chilled and garnish with extra cinnamon and a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional).
