Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Simmer the rice and milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups of whole milk, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Cook until thick and creamy: Continue to cook over low heat for approximately 45 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy pudding-like consistency.
  4. Add cinnamon and vanilla: Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract into the pudding, mixing well to incorporate the flavors evenly.
  5. Serve warm or chilled: Remove the rice pudding from heat. You can serve it warm immediately or allow it to cool to room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator before serving, depending on your preference.

Notes

  • Stir frequently during cooking to prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
  • You can substitute whole milk with lower-fat milk or plant-based milk, but the texture may vary.
  • For added richness, consider stirring in a tablespoon of butter or a splash of cream before serving.
  • Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
