Provided by Trish - Mom On Timeout

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

4½ cups whole milk
1½ cups water
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick (3 or 4 inches long)
1 cup Arborio rice (or look for Boomba rice that is used in paellas)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
⅔ cup golden raisins (optional)
1 cinnamon stick (grated or ground cinnamon)

Steps:

  • In a heavy bottomed, 3 quart sauce pan, combine the milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and rice. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to an intense simmer (just below boiling) over medium high heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring often until the rice is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Some liquid will remain. The mixture should have the consistency of a thin oatmeal but will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Remove from heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract and raisins, if using.
  • Spoon the rice pudding into individual ramekins or small containers OR transfer to a large serving dish. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving or let cool to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day in advance.
  • Just before serving, top with freshly grated cinnamon or ground cinnamon. Pudding can be enjoyed warm or cooled.
