How to Make My Nanna's Stove Top Rice Pudding Rice Custard

  1. In a heavy-based saucepan, combine 1 cup Arborio rice, 4 cups whole milk, 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. If using, add 1/2 cup sultanas now.
  2. Cook over low-medium heat for 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and achieve your desired rice texture. Do not let it boil.
  3. Remove from heat. If adding sultanas, stir them in now. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. If refrigerating, let cool slightly before covering tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Serve warm (with stewed apples or ice cream) or cold. Add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top, if desired.
