Ingredients

• 150 grams Arborio rice
• 1 liter Whole milk
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 250 grams Fresh strawberries
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)
• 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the whole milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Stir in the Arborio rice, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

Cook the rice mixture over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the milk. This should take about 25-30 minutes. The mixture should be creamy but not overly thick.

Step 5

While the rice is cooking, hull and chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish, if desired.

Step 6

Optional: In a small bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with the powdered sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.

Step 7

Once the rice is fully cooked, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly. It can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

Step 8

To serve, divide the rice pudding into individual bowls or dessert glasses. Top each portion with the chopped strawberries and garnish with a mint leaf and a whole strawberry, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
