How to Make Philadelphia Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large 3-quart saucepan, combine the rice, milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and raisins (if using). Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Once simmering, transfer the saucepan to the preheated oven. Cover the saucepan with a lid and bake for 2 hours and 45 minutes (165 minutes).
  5. After baking, carefully remove the pudding from the oven. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. The pudding will thicken considerably as it cools slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!
  6. Garnish with extra raisins, cinnamon, or a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
