Ingredients
- 1 cup short-grain white rice (e.g., Arborio)
- 4 cups whole milk
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 3 1/2 cups of milk, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and cook the rice pudding for 25–30 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened. If the pudding becomes too thick before the rice is fully cooked, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of milk, adding a little at a time as needed.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly stir the egg yolk mixture into the cooked rice pudding, mixing constantly to ensure the egg doesn’t scramble. If adding raisins, stir them in at this stage.
Step 7
Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is creamy and slightly thickened.
Step 8
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
