Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Arborio rice
  • 4 cup (946ml) whole milk
  • 2 tbsp (28g) butter
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/8 tsp (0.7g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (80g) raisins
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, whole milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens, about 25-30 minutes. Stir in the raisins and continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice pudding cool for a few minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Serve the creamy rice pudding warm in individual bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a cinnamon stick if desired.
Recipe Notes

Experiment with different toppings such as a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of cocoa powder. For added richness, you can substitute some of the whole milk with coconut milk or condensed milk. Adjust the sweetness and spices according to your taste preferences.
