Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Step 2
While the rice is cooking, in a separate large saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and temper them by slowly whisking in about 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture. Gradually add the tempered yolks back into the saucepan while whisking continuously.
Step 4
Add the cooked rice to the milk mixture and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, raisins, and butter. Mix until well incorporated and the butter is melted.
Step 6
Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
