Old Fashioned Rice Pudding
A classic and comforting old-fashioned rice pudding recipe, creamy and delicious.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups Milk whole milk recommended
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large egg yolks lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened.
- Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
- Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot rice pudding mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Then, stir the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice pudding.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Serve warm or chilled. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Notes
This old-fashioned rice pudding is best served warm or at room temperature. For a richer flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of some of the milk.
