Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the milk is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooked rice, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top as a garnish.
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a water bath.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Once baked, remove the baking dish from the water bath and let the rice custard cool to room temperature. It will firm up as it cools.
Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
