Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup/100g short grain rice
3/4 cups/200ml water
3 cups milk/750ml milk
1/4 cup/60g granulated sugar
1/4 cup/ 3 tablespoons/60g unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: lemon zest
Optional for decorating: cinnamon powder, fruit jam, fruit preserves, nuts, dried fruits, cardamom

Steps:

  • Use a 1 quart pot with cover.
  • Place the rice and water into the pot, bring to a boil then simmer for few minutes, covered, until the rice absorbs the water. 
  • Add milk, butter and salt and cook the rice on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
  • When the rice is almost cooked(about 10-15 minutes), add sugar and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, lemon zest and stir to combine.
  • The best way to know if the rice pudding is cooked is by tasting the grain. You want the rice to be cooked but still "al dente".
  • Remove the pudding from the heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. The rice will absorb the rest of the liquid and become thicker and creamier.
  • Serve the rice pudding in cups and decorate with cinnamon, pieces of fruit, your favorite jam, dried fruits etc.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your rice pudding. Use fresh milk, heavy cream, and high-quality rice.
  • Cook the rice slowly: Don't rush the cooking process. Cooking the rice slowly over low heat will allow it to absorb the flavors of the milk and cream and develop a creamy texture.
  • Stir the pudding frequently: Stirring the pudding frequently will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant. Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Season the pudding to taste: Once the rice is cooked, season the pudding to taste with sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, if desired.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: Chilling the pudding before serving will allow it to set and develop a firmer texture. You can serve the pudding warm or cold.

Conclusion:

Fluffy rice pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, it's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day or a special occasion. Whether you serve it warm or cold, topped with fruit or whipped cream, rice pudding is sure to be a hit.
