Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0 as needed Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the Arborio rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the water is mostly absorbed.
Step 2
Once the rice has absorbed the water, stir in the pumpkin puree, whole milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice pudding thickens to your desired consistency. The rice should be soft and creamy.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until it melts and incorporates into the pudding.
Step 5
If you’d like to add raisins, stir them in at this stage while the pudding is still hot.
Step 6
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Scoop it into bowls and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
Step 7
Enjoy warm or chilled!
