Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup long-grain white rice
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, rice, sugar, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (about 20-25 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Gradually stir a few spoonfuls of the hot rice mixture into the egg to temper it.
- Add the tempered egg back into the saucepan, stirring quickly to combine.
- Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, or until the pudding thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. If using raisins, fold them in at this stage.
- Serve warm or chilled, topped with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- For an even creamier pudding, substitute whole milk with half-and-half.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.
- The pudding will thicken as it cools; add a splash of milk when reheating if needed.
