How to Make Extra Creamy Rice Pudding

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the sugar, milk, heavy cream, cooked Arborio rice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook uncovered, stirring occasionally. The mixture will begin to thicken; stir more frequently as it thickens (about 15 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Slowly drizzle about 1/2 cup of the warm rice pudding mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining rice pudding. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and the rice is very tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and raisins (if using).
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
