Equipment
  • 1 ceramic dish
  • 1 heavy-duty saucepan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
Ingredients
  
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2 qt whole milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
 
  • Prepare a heavy-duty saucepan and add the whole milk, Arborio rice, and sugar.
  • Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Once you've combined the milk, rice, and sugar, it is time to stir in the vanilla and butter.
  • Stir all the ingredients together, and place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it has reached a boil, reduce the heat.
  • Let the rice pudding mixture simmer on low and remember to leave the saucepan uncovered.
  • It is necessary to stir the rice pudding every 10-15 minutes to prevent the rice from sticking together or burning.
  • Let the pudding cook on low for an hour, stirring it every 10-15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the egg mixture by whisking two large eggs in a bowl. After an hour of cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat, and add one cup of the pudding mixture to the egg mixture.
  • This process will temper the eggs, which will prevent the eggs from cooking inside the pudding, making the texture rubbery.
  • Once you've combined the eggs and one cup of the pudding mixture in a mixing bowl, slowly pour this mixture into the rice pudding, making sure to stir constantly.
  • Once all the ingredients are combined, add in the heavy cream, and give the pudding a good stir.
  • Transfer your homemade rice pudding to a ceramic baking dish, and then sprinkle some cinnamon on top for both aroma and garnish.
  • The hardest part is definitely waiting for the pudding to cool down and achieve the desired consistency for three hours, but we highly recommend not skipping this step!
