Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 1/4 cups Arborio rice
4 cups milk
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Remove zest from orange using the smallest holes on a box grater, and set aside. Cut ends off orange, and remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Lift sections away from membranes, and set aside. Squeeze juice from membranes over sections before discarding.
  • Place the Arborio rice, milk, reserved orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla bean and seeds, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most but not all of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Remove the vanilla bean, and serve the pudding in small bowls garnished with orange sections.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oranges
2 cups Arborio rice
3/4 cup sugar
1 whole cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup whole blanched almonds

Steps:

  • Grate the zest from 1 orange. Slice this and 1 other orange in half; squeeze out juice. Combine zest and juice in a saucepan, and add rice, sugar, 5 cups water, cinnamon stick, and vanilla. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Stir several times, return cover, and let stand for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let cool.
  • Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and pith from remaining oranges. Carefully cut out segments, and discard seeds. Set aside.
  • Just before serving, whip cream until stiff. Fold cream, almonds, and all but 10 of the orange segments into rice mixture. Transfer pudding to a large bowl, and garnish with reserved orange segments.

Tips:

  • Use medium-grain rice for a creamier texture.
  • Toast the rice in butter before cooking to enhance its flavor.
  • Use whole milk or half-and-half instead of water for a richer pudding.
  • Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the pudding.
  • Garnish the pudding with fresh orange zest, whipped cream, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Creamy orange rice pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, tangy orange flavor, and customizable toppings, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
