Steps:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan stir together sugar with milk, cream, cooked rice, vanilla and cinnamon; bring to a boil uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring often.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally especially as it thickens for about 15 minutes.
- Then lightly stir in eggs; continue cooking stirring often until the mixture thickly coats the spoon and the rice is very soft (about 10 minutes).
- Stir in butter (if using) and raisins.
Tips:
- Use full-fat milk and cream. This will give your rice pudding a richer, creamier flavor and texture. For a lighter version, you can use low-fat or skim milk and cream, but be sure to add a little extra sugar or honey to compensate for the lack of fat.
- Cook the rice pudding slowly. This will help it to develop a smooth, creamy texture. Bring the milk and cream to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add your favorite flavors. Rice pudding is a blank canvas that can be flavored in many different ways. Try adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom. You can also add fresh or dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
- Serve the rice pudding warm or cold. Rice pudding is delicious served warm, right out of the pot. It can also be chilled and served cold, which makes it a refreshing dessert for summer. Leftover rice pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Rice pudding is a classic dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but it can be dressed up or down to suit your taste. Whether you like it plain or fancy, warm or cold, rice pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is sure to please.
