Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Pudding rice (short-grain rice or arborio rice)
- 1 liters Whole milk
- 100 milliliters Double cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 25 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Lightly grease a 1.5-liter ovenproof baking dish with a small amount of butter.
Rinse the pudding rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, double cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Transfer the rinsed rice into the prepared baking dish. Pour the milk mixture over the rice and stir gently to distribute the rice evenly.
Dot the surface with small cubes of the unsalted butter, spaced evenly across the top.
Sprinkle the ground nutmeg evenly over the surface for a light dusting of spice.
Place the baking dish in the center of the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 2 hours, stirring once after the first 30 minutes to prevent the rice from clumping at the bottom.
After 2 hours, the rice should be tender, and the pudding will have a creamy consistency with a golden, caramelized top. If the pudding is too liquidy for your taste, you can bake it for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, either on its own or with a drizzle of cream or jam.
