Description
This Creamy Cinnamon Rice Pudding is a comforting and easy-to-make dessert featuring soft, perfectly cooked rice with a subtle cinnamon flavor and sweet sultanas. Baked to creamy perfection with a touch of thickened cream, it’s delicious served warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)
- 4 cups milk (full or reduced fat)
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup medium grain white rice, uncooked
- 1/2 cup sultanas or raisins
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup thickened/heavy cream (or a bit of butter)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 10 cup or larger casserole dish with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly and bring to a gentle simmer, watching for foaming on the surface but do not let it boil to avoid splitting.
- Place the uncooked rice, sultanas, and cinnamon into the prepared casserole dish. Pour the hot milk mixture over the rice and give it a brief stir to combine. Cover the dish with a lid or foil to trap steam during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Every 20 minutes, remove the dish and stir the rice pudding thoroughly to prevent the rice from setting on the bottom and to ensure even cooking.
- After baking, remove the dish from the oven and stir in the thickened cream. The pudding will appear a little watery immediately after baking but will thicken as it cools. Stir well to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Serve the rice pudding warm, either on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
