Categories     Dessert     Rice     Vanilla     Lemon     Citrus     Cinnamon     Vegetarian

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup Arborio or other short-grain white rice
3 cups whole milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In the pressure cooker pot, stir together the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, and salt. Use the tip of a paring knife to scrape the vanilla seeds out of the pod into the pot and add the vanilla bean, too.
  • Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
  • Remove and discard the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and yolks. Whisk into the rice, continuing to stir until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. The residual heat of the rice will cook the yolks. Stir in the raisins (if using).
  • Spoon the pudding into serving bowls, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours. The pudding will thicken as it cools. Serve with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and whipped cream, if desired.

RICE PUDDING WITH LEMON SAUCE



Rice Pudding with Lemon Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Rice     Dessert     Side     Bake     Lemon     Boil

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Rice Pudding
2 cups cooked rice (I like to use jasmine)
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup chopped dates
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
Grate of fresh nutmeg
1 vanilla bean, split
Lemon Sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the Rice Pudding
  • Heat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the rice, milk, dates, eggs, butter, salt, and nutmeg. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and stir them into the mixture. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Place the dish in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly around the edges and the top is golden.
  • Make the Lemon Sauce
  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine 1 cup water, the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Bring the mixture up to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and stir well. Drizzle the lemon sauce over each serving of pudding.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: For the best results, use a short-grain or medium-grain rice that is specifically designed for puddings. These types of rice have a higher starch content, which will help to create a creamy and smooth pudding.
  • Cook the rice properly: Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If the rice is undercooked, it will be hard and chewy. If the rice is overcooked, it will be mushy and lose its shape.
  • Use fresh lemon zest: Fresh lemon zest is essential for giving the pudding its bright and citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemon zest, you can use dried lemon zest, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding should be cooked until it is thick and creamy, but not so long that it becomes rubbery.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold: Lemon rice pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Lemon rice pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, bright citrus flavor, and simple ingredients, it's a perfect way to end any meal. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this pudding is sure to be a hit.
