Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Set aside.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, grated ginger, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well and raise the heat to medium-low.
Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid thickens to a creamy consistency. Be careful to avoid scorching the bottom by stirring thoroughly.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or ginger flavor to your preference. You can add more sugar or a touch more grated ginger if desired.
Remove from heat and let the Gingered Cream Rice sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool and thicken further.
Spoon into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
