Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup cooked short-grain rice (preferably Japanese sticky rice)
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split
5 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup white rum
3 cups sliced tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, mango, papaya)

Steps:

  • Place rice in a saucepan with 1 cup water. Bring to simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes. Set aside, covered, 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, combine the coconut milk, 1/4 cup of the cream and the vanilla bean in a heavy saucepan. Scald, then remove from heat. Remove the vanilla bean.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar. Add the scalded coconut-milk mixture, a little at a time at first, and mix well with the egg yolks. Return to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until custard begins to thicken and coat the spoon. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat, and continue stirring for 1 minute.
  • Strain the custard into a bowl, and stir in salt and two tablespoons of the rum. Fold in rice, cover and chill until very cold, at least 4 hours.
  • Whip the remaining cream until stiff, then fold into the rice and custard mixture. Spread the pudding in an oven-proof dish, about 9 inches square, that can go to the table. Refrigerate until just before serving.
  • Mix fruit and remaining rum.
  • Preheat broiler. Sprinkle remaining sugar on the surface of the pudding, and place under a broiler just until top is lightly browned. Serve at once, with fruit on the side.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING



Instant Pot Rice Pudding image

Rice pudding prepared in an electric pressure cooker is both speedy and simple - the kind of thing you can whip up in minutes in between other kitchen tasks. This version calls for short-grain rice, which turns plump and pleasingly sticky as it cooks in a combination of milk and heavy cream. Adding a vanilla bean lends deeply aromatic notes, but if you don't have one, just stir 1 tablespoon vanilla extract into the pudding along with the egg yolks. Or skip the vanilla and add a teaspoon of whole cardamom pods to the pot to round out the spicy flavor of the cinnamon. Whipped cream might be overkill on a pudding this rich, but only in the very best way.

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup arborio or other short-grain rice
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
1 (4-inch) strip orange or lemon zest, peeled with a vegetable peeler (optional)
1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped with the tip of a paring knife, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Large pinch of fine sea salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Ground cinnamon or cardamom, for serving (optional)
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In the pressure cooker pot, stir together the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, orange zest (if using), vanilla bean and seeds, and salt.
  • Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and discard the cinnamon stick, orange zest and vanilla bean.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and yolks. Whisk into the rice and continue to stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. (It will still look soupy at this point.) The residual heat of the rice will cook the yolks, and chilling will thicken the pudding. Stir in the raisins, if using.
  • Spoon the pudding into serving bowls, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or cardamom and whipped cream, if you'd like.
