How to Make Riz Au Lait French Rice Pudding

  1. Combine the rice, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more sugar if desired.
  5. Pour the rice pudding into individual serving bowls or a larger bowl.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold! For an extra special touch, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries.
