Rice Pudding with Sea Salt-Caramel Sauce image

With a little love and the right recipe, the humble rice pudding can be positively romantic. Our pudding gets a mousse-like fluff from folding in whipped cream, while toppings such as berries, chopped toffee, pistachios, and a sea-salt-flecked caramel sauce make it dazzle for date night. Pick up your spoons and end the evening on a high note.

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup Italian short-grain rice, such as Carnaroli or Arborio
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen
Chopped pistachios, raisins, dried apricots, and toffee bits, for serving
Fresh raspberries and blackberries, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring milk, rice, and kosher salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture has the texture of creamy porridge, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan, stir together remaining 3/4 cup sugar and corn syrup. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture boils, about 5 minutes. Uncover; continue boiling, swirling pan occasionally until mixture turns amber, 3 to 4 minutes more (if crystals start to form, brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush).
  • Carefully add 1/2 cup cream in a steady stream (it will bubble vigorously). Remove from heat, add flaky sea salt, and stir until smooth. Let cool completely.
  • Whisk remaining 3/4 cup cream to soft peaks; fold into cooled rice pudding. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours (and up to 2 days). Serve rice pudding in bowls with caramel sauce, pistachios, dried fruits, toffee, and fresh berries on the side.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice pudding turned out lumpy and the caramel sauce was grainy. I'm disappointed with this recipe.

This rice pudding was a disaster! It was too runny and the caramel sauce was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of rice pudding, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The caramel sauce really made the dish.

This rice pudding is so easy to make and it tastes delicious. I love that it's not too sweet, and the sea salt caramel sauce adds a nice touch of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!

This rice pudding is a delightful treat! The combination of creamy rice, sweet caramel sauce, and a hint of sea salt is simply irresistible. I especially love the way the sea salt enhances the flavor of the caramel, creating a perfect balance between
