RASPBERRY-TOPPED RICE PUDDING BRÛLÉE

Steps:

• Mix 2 cups milk, sugar, and rice in large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 10 minutes, stirring often. Mix in 2 cups milk. Increase heat; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thickened, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Add 2 cups milk; return to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until rice is tender and pudding is thick and reduced to 4½ cups, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Quickly whisk in yolks. Transfer pudding to large bowl set in larger bowl with ice and water and chill until cold, stirring often, about 3 hours. Whisk cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Remove vanilla bean from cold pudding. Fold in cream in 2 additions. Divide pudding among eight ¾-cup ramekins or custard cups. Press several raspberries onto each pudding. Preheat broiler. Arrange puddings on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle each evenly with 1 tsp brown sugar. Broil until sugar caramelizes, rotating sheet for even browning, about 2 minutes.
