Tips:

- Cook the rice pudding slowly. This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the milk and cream and develop a creamy texture.
- Stir the rice pudding frequently. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Add the sugar and spices gradually. This will help you to control the sweetness and flavor of the rice pudding.
- Let the rice pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice pudding to set.
