Are you looking for a comforting dessert to indulge in after a long day? Look no further than this delicious and easy-to-make rice pudding recipe. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy and satisfying dessert that will leave you feeling satisfied and content.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of white rice
- 2 cups of water
- 4 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan with the rice. Stir to combine.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes creamy. This should take about 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- For a richer and creamier rice pudding, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup or more, depending on your taste.
- If you want to add some texture to your pudding, stir in some raisins, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut before serving.
