Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cooked white rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir frequently until the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until smooth.
Gradually add a few spoonfuls of the warm rice mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Once tempered, slowly pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture, stirring constantly.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Place the baking dish inside a larger roasting pan, then carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. This water bath will help the custard cook evenly.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 80-90 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let the custard cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with additional cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
