🥘 Ingredients

7 items

• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 2 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Butter

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cooked white rice, milk, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

2. Add the raisins (if using) and mix them into the rice mixture.

3. Microwave the mixture uncovered on high power for 5 minutes. Stop halfway through cooking to stir to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

4. After 5 minutes, stir the pudding again and microwave for an additional 2 minutes. Keep an eye on the mixture as it may bubble up during cooking.

5. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated.

6. Allow the pudding to sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.

7. Serve warm or chilled, and optionally sprinkle additional ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
