How to Make Nutella Italian Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 13x19 inch glass baking pan with vegetable spray.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan, whisk together 4 cups whole milk and 1 cup Nutella over medium heat until smooth.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 cup Arborio rice. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 4 large egg yolks, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Temper the egg mixture: Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them, preventing curdling.
  7. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional).
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan (water bath).
  9. Bake for 40 minutes, or until set and golden brown. Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
