Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain it thoroughly.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Add the whole milk, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and salt to the cooked rice. Stir to combine.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 15-20 minutes or until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Once the rice mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined.
Taste the creamed rice and adjust the sweetness or lemony flavor based on your preference by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if needed.
Transfer the Lemon Creamed Rice to serving bowls and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold dessert.
Garnish with extra lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream before serving, if desired.
