Extra Creamy Rice Pudding

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Italian-style or Arborio rice is the best to use for this recipe, it will produce the creamiest texture. This is best if eaten warm! Prep time does not include cooking the rice."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 7 cups (approx)

ingredients

• 4 cups cooked short-grain white rice
• 1⁄2 cup sugar (or to taste)
• 4 cups full-fat milk (1 litre)
• 1 cup half-and-half cream (or use 18% table cream)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 -2 tablespoon butter (optional)
• 1⁄2 cup golden raisin (can use more)

directions

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan stir together sugar with milk, cream, cooked rice, vanilla and cinnamon; bring to a boil uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring often.
2. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally especially as it thickens for about 15 minutes.
3. Then lightly stir in eggs; continue cooking stirring often until the mixture thickly coats the spoon and the rice is very soft (about 10 minutes).
4. Stir in butter (if using) and raisins.

I made this as directed down the line for my DH who loves rice pudding. His only "helpful" comment was that it could use more sugar but he's really a sweet lover. This makes a huge amount, I made a 4 serving amount using 2 cups of rice and there is at least 8 servings. I was out of golden raisins so just used a handful on the dark ones. If you are, or have, a rice pudding lover don't miss this one.

Very delightful and soothing on a cold, rainy afternoon! I would recommend tempering your egg before adding to hot mixture so you don't end up with scrambled eggs! :)

Excellent Rice Pudding, even with Minute Rice

This got a big thumbs up from the 4 or us who tried it! The arborio rice made all the difference! It cooked up so creamy. I halved the recipe and used regular raisins, which I cooked with the rice so they would be nice and plump. Thanks Kit!
