Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 2 cups water
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.3333 cup granulated sugar
• 4 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
• 0 fresh berries or shaved white chocolate (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the pudding from becoming overly sticky.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Once the water is absorbed, add the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chopped white chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt. Keep stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and integrated into the pudding.

Step 6

Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness, if needed. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of milk or cream to loosen it to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

Step 8

For garnish, sprinkle with ground cinnamon or nutmeg and top with fresh berries or shaved white chocolate for an extra touch of elegance.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a little milk if needed to restore the creamy texture.
