VINTAGE CREAMY RICH RICE PUDDING (PRESSURE COOKER)



Vintage Creamy Rich Rice Pudding (Pressure Cooker) image

When I was a child and not feeling well, my mom and grandma always brought out the "big guns" in their edible medicinal arsenal... homemade chicken noodle soup and rice pudding or bread pudding. I might not have eaten anything else, but one of those choices was sure to do the trick. For 30 years, I've tried to replicate my...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups of milk, half & half, or 1/2 milk-1/2 half & half
2 tb. butter
1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 pinch of salt
1 tb. vanilla
1/2-1 cup raisins, regular or golden
scant 1/2 cup sugar
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS
sprinkle of cinnamon and/or nutmeg once dished
1/2 tsp. lemon zest (add before pressure cooking)
swirl of raspberry jelly on top after dished
whipping cream, whipped

Steps:

  • 1. Add milk and butter to pressure cooker. Turn on browning/warming plate and heat until milk is warm and butter has melted stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Add rice and salt. Stir. Cover pressure cooker and lock. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • 3. Release pressure, uncover and add raisins, vanilla and sugar. With power off, cover and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes. Raisins will plump and sauce will become rich and creamy. I enjoy mine plain, allowing the vanilla flavor to shine through, but feel free to customize as you wish. I don't like to add the cinnamon to the pudding because I don't think it looks as nice, and each person in our home likes it served a little differently. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup currants or raisins (optional)
2 tablespoons golden rum (optional)
3 cups half-and-half or whole milk
1/2 cup rice, preferably jasmine or basmati
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 plums, sliced

Steps:

  • If using the currants, soak them in the rum in a small bowl.
  • Place the half-and-half, rice, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, continuing to stir.
  • Drain the currants and stir them into the pudding, then cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the rice is al dente. Spoon the pudding into bowls and serve immediately, or spread it into a serving dish, cover, and chill. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent it from forming a skin (unless you like it!).
  • Serve pudding in a bowl along with slices of fresh plums.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup arborio rice
8 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
freshly grated nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and salt in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and stir to combine.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring every 5 minutes as the mixture starts to thicken, for about 30 minutes.
  • Continue cooking until the rice is tender but not too mushy, about 15 minutes longer. The milk will be thick and the rice tender, but the mixture will still be a little soupy, which is what you want. (As pudding cools, it thickens, and if it is too thick while still hot, it will firm up into a thick stodgy lump without the unctuous creaminess of a great rice pudding).
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cream together and stir into the rice pudding.
  • Continue cooking the pudding over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through and pudding is creamy and glossy, but still fairly soupy.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Grate a little nutmeg (if using) into the pudding.
  • Remove the vanilla bean.
  • Pour the pudding into a serving bowl and press plastic wrap over the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Refrigerate until cold, at least 2-3 hours.
  • Serve Cold.
  • Note: This pudding is delicious as it is, or you can fold a dollop of whipped cream into each serving, or layer the pudding in a parfait glass with dulce de leche or caramel sauce, or just drizzle some sauce on top before serving.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 2/3 c water
1/4 tsp salt
1 c basmati rice
3 c milk
1 c heavy cream
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg yolk from large egg, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy bottomed, medium saucepan or dutch oven ( I used my cast iron dutch oven. ) over medium high heat, bring rice, water and salt to a simmer. Cover and lower heat - continue cooking & stirring until all water is absorbed. 10 - 12 minutes.
  • 2. Add the cream, sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir until well combined. Whisk in the cinnamon. Simmer for 35 - 40, minutes or until just about desired thickness, making sure to stir often so as not to burn or stick.
  • 3. When the pudding is just about finished, add some of the milk mixture to the egg yolk, stirring briskly to temper, quickly stir this mixture back into the rice and cook a few more minutes.
  • 4. I removed mine while there was still a bit of liquid as it will be absorbed more as the pudding cools. Pour into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap to avoid a skin forming on top of your pudding.
  • 5. Chill until ready to serve. I served with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I also thinned down some canned cherries with lemon juice & water and added a dollop for those who preferred.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Choose a short-grain or medium-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, for a creamy and tender pudding.
  • Cook the rice in milk: This will give the pudding a rich and flavorful base.
  • Add sugar and spices: Sweeten the pudding to your taste and add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla for extra flavor.
  • Simmer gently: Bring the pudding to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in cream and butter: Once the pudding has thickened, stir in cream and butter for a richer flavor and texture.
  • Serve warm or cold: Rice pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Rice pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and warm spices, it is a perfect comfort food for any occasion. Whether you serve it warm or cold, topped with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream, rice pudding is sure to be a hit.
