Categories     dessert

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup raisins
3 tablespoons bourbon, such as Makers Mark
3/4 cup white basmati rice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 cups half-and-half, divided
1/2 cup sugar
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus extra for serving (optional)
1/2 teaspoon natural maple flavoring
3/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the raisins and bourbon. Set aside.
  • Combine the rice and salt with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium heavy-bottomed stainless steel saucepan. Bring it to a boil, stir once, and simmer, covered, on the lowest heat for 8 to 9 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed. (If your stove is very hot, pull the pan halfway off the burner.)
  • Stir in 4 cups of half-and-half and the sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the rice is very soft and the pudding is thick. Stir often, particularly toward the end. Slowly stir in the beaten egg and continue to cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, add the remaining cup of half-and-half, the vanilla, maple syrup, maple flavoring, and the raisins with any remaining bourbon. Stir well. Pour into a bowl, and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Cool slightly, add the pecans, and serve warm or chilled. Drizzle each serving with extra maple syrup, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will give your rice pudding the best flavor. Use full-fat milk, cream, and butter for a rich and creamy pudding. Choose a good quality maple syrup, preferably Grade A or higher.
  • Cook the rice slowly: Cooking the rice slowly over low heat will help it to absorb the flavors of the milk and cream. Stir the rice frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the maple syrup gradually: Adding the maple syrup gradually will help to prevent the pudding from curdling. Stir the pudding constantly while adding the maple syrup.
  • Let the pudding cool before serving: The pudding will thicken as it cools. Let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving, or overnight for a firmer pudding.

Conclusion:

Canadian maple rice pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a classic Canadian dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its creamy texture, rich maple flavor, and delicate vanilla aroma, this pudding is a true taste of Canada.
