Creamy Rice Pudding
Creamy Rice Pudding is a classic dessert that's rich, comforting, and full of nostalgia. Made with simple ingredients, this recipe yields a luscious and creamy rice pudding that will warm your heart and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Here's the recipe :
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If you're using raisins, add them as well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally and let the rice cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until it's tender and the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
If you'd like to add a garnish, sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top and place a cinnamon stick in the center of the pudding.
Serve the creamy rice pudding warm or chilled, depending on your preference. It can be enjoyed plain or with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
Enjoy the cozy and creamy goodness of homemade rice pudding!
