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.

Provided by Country Cookin Mama

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain rice
2 cups skim milk, divided
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1 large egg, beaten
2/3 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine rice, 1 1/2 cups milk and Splenda in a heavy saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes or until thick and creamy.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup milk in a microwavable dish for one minute in the microwave. Slowly add to the beaten egg while whisking, making sure not to end with scrambled eggs.
  • Pour this mixture into the rice mixture and cook an additional 2 minutes stirring constantly.
  • Add Vanilla and Cinnamon.
  • Serve warm or chilled.
  • Good with a dallop of lite cool whip!

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for rice pudding because it absorbs liquid well and becomes creamy.
  • Soak the rice: Soaking the rice before cooking helps it to cook evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
  • Use whole milk: Whole milk gives rice pudding a richer flavor and creamier texture than skim or low-fat milk.
  • Add flavorings: Vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins are classic flavorings for rice pudding. You can also add other flavorings, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts.
  • Cook the rice pudding slowly: Stirring the rice pudding constantly will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. However, you should avoid stirring it too often, as this can make the rice pudding gummy.
  • Let the rice pudding cool: Rice pudding is best served chilled. Allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
