How to Make Rice Pudding With Macadamia Maple Brittle

  1. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 4 cups whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Add 1 cup long-grain white rice and 2 cinnamon sticks to the saucepan.
  3. Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot rice mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs, preventing them from scrambling.
  6. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture. Stir until well combined.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring gently.
  8. Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon sticks. Transfer the rice pudding to a 2-quart baking dish.
  9. Let the rice pudding cool completely (at least 20 minutes) or cover and refrigerate overnight for a firmer texture.
  10. Preheat your broiler.
  11. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup maple syrup and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
  12. Evenly distribute ½ cup macadamia nuts over the top of the cooled rice pudding.
  13. Drizzle the maple syrup mixture evenly over the macadamia nuts.
  14. Broil for 2 ½ to 3 minutes, keeping a close watch, until the topping is lightly browned. The distance from the broiler should be about 4 inches.
  15. Let the rice pudding cool slightly before spooning it into individual dessert cups or bowls.
  16. Serve and enjoy!
