Ingredients for Abby S Rice Pudding
- White Rice
- 2 cups water
- Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
How to Make Abby S Rice Pudding
- Rinse 1 cup of Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 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.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender but not mushy.
- 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.
- Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the milk is thickened and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Serve chilled and garnish with extra cinnamon and a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
