Indulge in the rich and creamy decadence of Individual White Chocolate Amaretti Rice Puddings—an elegant twist on a classic dessert that’s sure to delight your taste buds! This recipe combines Arborio rice, slow-cooked to perfection in a luscious blend of whole milk, heavy cream, and a touch of vanilla, resulting in an irresistibly velvety texture. Melted white chocolate adds a smooth, luxurious sweetness, while a crunchy topping of crushed amaretti cookies lends a delightful hint of almond and a satisfyingly crisp contrast. Perfectly portioned for individual servings, these rice puddings are as visually stunning as they are delicious—ideal for dinner parties or a cozy night in. Serve them warm or chilled, with an optional garnish of extra amaretti crumbs or a dusting of powdered sugar, for a dessert that’s equal parts comfort and elegance.
In a medium saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The mixture should thicken, and the rice should become tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop the white chocolate and set it aside.
Once the rice is fully cooked and creamy, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and the chopped white chocolate. Mix until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.
Spoon the rice pudding into 4 individual serving dishes or ramekins and let them cool slightly.
In a small bowl, crush the amaretti cookies into coarse crumbs. Sprinkle them generously over each pudding just before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, as desired. Optionally, garnish with extra amaretti cookies or a dusting of powdered sugar.
