Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.3333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 6 ounces Quince paste
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures a creamy texture.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the milk is hot but not boiling.
Add the rinsed Arborio rice to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, to prevent the rice from sticking.
After about 20-25 minutes, when the rice is tender and the milk has thickened, remove the cinnamon stick.
Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, butter, and heavy cream. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is rich and creamy.
Remove the rice pudding from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Meanwhile, slice the quince paste into thin, manageable strips or small cubes.
To serve, spoon the rice pudding into individual bowls. Top each serving with slices or cubes of quince paste.
Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and optional chopped pistachios for garnish.
Serve warm or chilled for a delicious and comforting dessert.
