How to Make Goji Berry Rice Pudding

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large, heavy saucepan.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  4. Stir in 3 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Cover and cook over very low heat for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the mixture resembles a thin oatmeal consistency.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the whisked eggs.
  8. Slowly temper the eggs by whisking in 6 ounces of the hot rice mixture.
  9. Blend the tempered egg mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
  10. Return the blended mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  11. Gently stir in 1/2 cup dried goji berries and 1/4 cup raisins.
  12. Remove from heat immediately.
  13. Divide the pudding into six heat-resistant dessert dishes.
  14. Garnish with a decorative arrangement of goji berries and raisins (optional).
  15. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to chill completely.
  16. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
