Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.33 cup Raisins
Instructions
Add the cooked white rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to a large microwave-safe bowl. Stir to combine.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture every 2 minutes to prevent the milk from boiling over.
If using an egg yolk for added creaminess, temper the egg by whisking it with 2 tablespoons of the hot pudding mixture in a small bowl. Stir the tempered egg yolk back into the main pudding mixture.
Microwave for another 5-7 minutes, stirring every minute, until the pudding starts to thicken to your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook as it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Add the butter and raisins (if using) to the hot pudding, and stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes. Stir once more before serving to ensure a creamy texture.
Serve warm or chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor.
