Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 1 tablespoons Butter
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, additional cinnamon, honey
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked white rice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the raisins and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the raisins are plump and the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated.
Serve warm in bowls and garnish with optional toppings like chopped nuts, an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to adjust the consistency.
