Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
If using, fold in the raisins for added texture and sweetness.
Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, or transfer it to the refrigerator to chill and enjoy it cold later.
Garnish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!
