Creamy Rice Delight (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Mixture
01 -
1 cup rice (use medium-grain, uncooked)
02 -
6 cups whole milk (gives the creamiest result)
03 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
04 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar
05 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
→ Extras & Final Adds
06 -
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
07 -
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (adds more creaminess)
08 -
1/4 cup raisins or skip if you don't like them
09 -
Sprinkle some ground cinnamon for decoration
# Instructions:
01 -
Dump milk, rice, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins into a big pot. Put it on medium-high heat and let it warm up to a gentle boil, stirring here and there to keep the bottom from burning.
02 -
Once it's boiling, lower the heat to keep it at a quiet simmer. Stir once in a while and scrape the pan's edges to keep things smooth. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes until it's thick, creamy, and the rice is tender when you try a bite.
03 -
Take the pot off the stove. Mix in the butter and condensed milk until they're completely blended in. If it feels too thick, thin it out with a bit of milk (around 1/4 cup).
04 -
Ladle it into bowls while warm. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon and toss on some raisins (if you want that). You can serve it hot, or stick it in the fridge to enjoy it cold later.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish has roots in family kitchens and is cherished as a go-to comfort fix.
02 -
Using raw rice works better because it soaks up flavors and helps get that smooth, creamy texture.
03 -
Remember, the pudding gets thicker as it cools, so keep that in mind when deciding how creamy you want it.
