Ingredients

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water to a boil.

Step 2

Add the Arborio rice to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed.

Step 3

Stir in the milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until the mixture thickens and the rice becomes tender.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 6

Step 7

Optional: Top with whipped cream and chopped pecans for added texture and flavor before serving.
