Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white or jasmine rice
- 2.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, raisins, and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring to fully incorporate the ingredients and allow the raisins to plump up.
Turn off the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully blended.
Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon level if desired.
Serve warm or transfer the pudding to a container, allow it to cool, then refrigerate for a chilled version.
