- 2 cups Cooked white rice

- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, and heavy cream over medium heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
