CARAMELIZED RICE PUDDINGS

A kitchen torch is an inexpensive, handy tool for quickly caramelizing sugar into crackled tops for these dense puddings made with Arborio rice. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown tops under the broiler, but the sugar may not melt completely.

Time 50m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup Arborio rice
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and reserved
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
2 large egg yolks
Pinch of ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 cup turbinado or other raw sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put milk, rice, and vanilla bean and seeds into a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice has absorbed most of the liquid, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard vanilla bean.
  • Whisk cream, granulated sugar, salt, yolks, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour into rice mixture, stirring constantly. Return to heat; bring to a simmer. Divide among four 6-ounce ramekins set in a roasting pan; add boiling water halfway up sides.
  • Bake until almost set, 15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle tops with raw sugar, dividing evenly. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

SALTED-CARAMEL RICE PUDDING



Salted-Caramel Rice Pudding image

Rice pudding is pure dessert magic. Simple ingredients like jasmine rice, whole milk and sugar cook together to make a luscious treat, and the bittersweet salted caramel swirled throughout makes it even more irresistible. This pudding is flavored with vanilla, but a little orange zest, some instant espresso powder or a few smashed green cardamom pods would take it in another delicious direction.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups whole milk, plus more as needed
1/3 cup jasmine rice
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon Morton kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the rice pudding: In a medium pot, combine the milk, rice, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the milk has reduced and become creamy and the rice has swollen, about 20 minutes. (Cook a few minutes more if you like a thicker pudding.) You'll be able to see the rice on the surface of the pudding. The mixture will look loose, but it will continue to thicken as it cools. Remove from the heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with a few spoonfuls of the hot pudding. Add about 1 cup more pudding, little by little, then stir the yolk mixture back into the pudding. Stir in the vanilla. Cool slightly, then transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill until cold, about 3 hours.
  • Prepare the caramel: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Cook over medium heat, carefully swirling the pan to cook evenly without stirring, until the mixture starts to darken in spots, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cook until the caramel is a deep amber, 1 or 2 minutes. Immediately add the cream and butter, and stir to combine. Cook until the mixture is uniform and creamy, about 1 minute more. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Set aside until cooled to room temperature, about 20 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
  • Once the pudding is cold, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk. Just before serving, add the caramel to the cold rice pudding and swirl it through without fully combining.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice. For the best results, use a short-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli. These rices have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris and prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Toast the rice before adding the milk. This will help to develop the rice's flavor and give the pudding a slightly nutty taste.
  • Cook the rice over low heat. This will help to prevent the rice from scorching and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir the rice pudding frequently. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla extract towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and will also allow the vanilla extract to infuse the pudding with its flavor.
  • Serve the caramelized rice pudding warm or cold. It is delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Caramelized rice pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and caramelized topping, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
