How to Make Arborio Rice Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of Arborio rice and a pinch of salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in 2 cups of whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup raisins at this time).
- Continue to simmer over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the rice is creamy and soft.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg yolk until light and frothy.
- Temper the egg yolk by slowly whisking in about 1/2 cup of the hot rice pudding mixture. This prevents the egg from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining pudding.
- Simmer for 5 minutes more, stirring constantly, until the pudding has reached your desired thickness. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and a dash of ground cinnamon.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
- Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar, if desired.
