Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain rice (e.g., Arborio or sushi rice)
- 2 cups Water
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
- Chopped nuts or fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents clumping.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the whole milk, maple syrup, and salt. Raise the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the pudding to simmer uncovered, stirring often, for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the pudding will thicken further as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the pudding cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. If desired, spoon it into individual servings.
Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
