Description

Rice pudding is a creamy dessert made on the stovetop. It is infused with cinnamon and vanilla and finished with sweetened condensed milk.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked arborio rice
  • 2½ cups whole milk (plus ½ cup or as necessary)
  • 1 cinnamon stick (or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (one can)
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. To a medium saucepan, add the rice, 2 1/2 cups milk, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently for about 30-35 minutes until the rice is tender and most milk is absorbed. If the mixture thickens before the rice is fully softened, add the remaining ½ cup milk gradually.
  3. When the rice is fully cooked and tender, remove the cinnamon stick. Ensure the rice is tender before adding sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, optional raisins, and/or butter. Stir to combine.
  5. Continue simmering for 5 to 10 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir nearly constantly.
  6. Serve warm or cover and chill in the refrigerator to serve chilled.
  7. Optionally dust with cinnamon and/or nutmeg before serving.

Notes

  • Use arborio rice for best results.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk.
  • Optional ingredients can enhance flavor and texture.
