Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Arborio or short-grain rice
- 1000 milliliters Milk
- 1 piece Vanilla pod, split or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or preferred sugar substitute
- 10 grams Butter (optional, for added richness)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and helps achieve a creamier consistency.
In a medium-sized pot, pour in the milk and add the split vanilla pod or the vanilla extract, along with a pinch of salt.
Bring the milk mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil, as the milk could overflow.
Once the milk simmers, add the rinsed rice and stir well to distribute evenly throughout the milk.
Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the rice, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until it absorbs the milk and becomes tender. This should take about 30-35 minutes. If the mixture thickens too quickly, you can add a little more milk as needed.
After the rice is fully cooked and creamy, stir in your chosen sugar substitute, adjusting to taste. If using, stir in the butter until melted to add extra richness and flavor.
Remove the vanilla pod if used, and serve the Milchreis warm, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Enjoy your sugar-free milchreis on its own or with a dollop of unsweetened fruit compote or fresh berries for a delicious finish.
