Indulge in the comforting sweetness of Kossman Rice Pudding, a luxurious dessert that combines aromatic basmati rice with rich whole milk and heavy cream for a silky, indulgent texture. Infused with the warm flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, and a hint of fragrant cardamom, this traditional favorite is elevated by bursts of plump raisins and a touch of sugar for the perfect balance of sweetness. Whether served warm or chilled, this creamy rice pudding can be garnished with crunchy almonds or pistachios for an irresistible finish. With simple pantry staples and a cook time of under an hour, this recipe is a glorious treat for any occasion, offering family-friendly comfort with a touch of elegance.
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, whole milk, and cinnamon stick. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook gently for about 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently. The rice should become soft and the mixture will thicken as the liquid is absorbed.
Once the rice is tender, remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cardamom, and salt. Continue to cook over low heat for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from scorching.
Add the raisins during the final few minutes of cooking and stir to distribute them evenly. The pudding should have a creamy, thick consistency by this stage.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve the Kossman Rice Pudding warm or chilled, garnished with chopped almonds or pistachios if desired.
