Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Water
• 0.3333 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts or fresh fruit (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, water, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the rice, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes. The mixture should thicken as the rice absorbs the liquid.

Step 4

Once the rice is tender and creamy, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter. Mix until fully combined, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle ground cinnamon into the creamed rice and stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the creamed rice sit for 5 minutes to thicken further.

Step 7

Serve warm in bowls, and top with chopped nuts or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor, if desired.
