Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the Arborio rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed Arborio rice, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, butter, and salt.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning or sticking.
Reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook the rice pudding for about 30-35 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Once the rice is cooked through, stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled. Garnish with extra cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
