Best 8 Rice Pudding With Cinnamon And Dried Fruit Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place rice, salt, and water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle with sugar and pour in milk. Stir with a whisk until until the thin layer of cooked-on starch at the bottom of the pan is cleared and incorporated into the mixture, 2 or 3 minutes.
• Place pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired of level of doneness and creaminess, 8 to 10 minutes. The longer it cooks, the thicker and stickier it will be. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Very quickly whisk in the egg yolk (to prevent it from cooking). Whisk for about 1 more minute. Add butter and dried cherries; stir thoroughly.
• Transfer warm pudding to serving dishes. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 3 to 4 hours.

30-MINUTE RICE PUDDING WITH DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• Place rice in strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Place rice, milk, raisins, and orange peel in large saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into pan; add bean. Bring rice mixture to simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to lowest possible temperature, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 23 minutes. Remove from heat. Add egg yolks; stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in sugar.
• Divide pudding among eight 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Chill until cold, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.

INSTANT RICE PUDDING WITH CINNAMON, CARDAMOM AND BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together all ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently until the pudding is thick and creamy. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish, as desired, with additional blueberries or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

RICE PUDDING WITH CINNAMON AND DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water to boil in large, heavy-bottomed pot (at least 3 quarts) or small soup kettle (4 to 5 quarts). Stir in salt and rice; cover and simmer over low heat, stirring once or twice until water is almost fully absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add milk, half-and-half and sugar. Increase heat to medium-high to bring to simmer, then reduce heat to maintain simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until mixture starts to thicken, about 30 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring every couple of minutes to prevent 10sticking and scorching, until a spoon is just able to stand up in the pudding, about 15 minutes longer.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, dried fruit, and cinnamon. Cool and serve at room temperature or chilled. (Can be covered with plastic wrap on surface of pudding and then refrigerated up to 2 days.).

RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, mix well, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the rice is very soft. (The mixture should still be soupy; if it is not, add enough additional milk to make it soupy.)
• Add the dried fruits to the pudding, mix, and set aside until cooled to room temperature. Spoon into six dessert dishes and serve, if desired, with 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream on top.

CREAMY CINNAMON RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the milk, cinnamon, butter, and rice in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until rice is tender. Gradually stir in the sugar.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs until smooth. Gradually whisk in about a cup of the hot milk mixture, or enough to raise the temperature to just above body temperature. Gradually stir the warmed egg mixture into the pot. This will keep you from having scrambled egg in your pudding!
• Simmer the pudding over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Pour into a baking dish or bowl, and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before refrigerating. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

CINNAMON, RICE AND RAISIN PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add rice and raisins; stir. Cover; simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 min.
• Mix sour cream, sugar and cinnamon until blended. Add to rice mixture; mix well.
• Serve topped with nuts.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING

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.
