Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams short-grain rice
- 1 liter skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 50 grams fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well.
In a large saucepan, combine skim milk, rinsed rice, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once the milk begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook gently for about 20-25 minutes. Continue to stir frequently.
After 20 minutes, check the consistency. The mixture should be thick and creamy, and the rice should be tender.
Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, ensuring they are well mixed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milchreis to rest for a few minutes. This will help it thicken further.
Serve warm, topped with fresh fruit if desired, or let it cool and refrigerate for a chilled version. Enjoy your low-fat milchreis!
