How to Make Rice Pudding With Vanilla Bean Orange And Rum

  1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, combine 4 cups whole milk and 1 cup Arborio rice.
  2. Split a vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the milk mixture. Add the empty bean pod as well.
  3. Bring the milk mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional), and the zest of 1 orange.
  6. Remove the vanilla bean pod.
  7. Let the pudding sit, covered, for 10 minutes to thicken further.
  8. Spoon the rice pudding into individual serving bowls.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to chill completely.
  10. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh orange segments if desired.
