Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain white rice
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it thoroughly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 2 cups of whole milk, and the salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the rice for about 20 minutes or until it is tender and the liquid has been mostly absorbed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of whole milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, granulated sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Slowly pour the custard mixture into the saucepan with the cooked rice, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Cook the pudding over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes or until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or a large dish. Allow it to cool slightly before serving warm, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours if you prefer it cold.
Optional: Garnish with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
