Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cooked white rice, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 2 minutes. Remove the bowl carefully (it will be hot) and stir the mixture thoroughly.
Return the bowl to the microwave and continue cooking in 2-minute intervals, stirring well after each interval, for a total of 8–10 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken and the rice absorbs some of the liquid.
Once the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, add the butter and stir until melted and fully incorporated. If you're adding raisins, stir them in at this stage.
Let the rice pudding cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
