Creamy Rice Pudding
Description
Creamy Rice Pudding highlights the use of pudding rice or Arborio rice, which releases starch gradually and yields a smooth, thick texture. The initial cooking in water softens the rice before milk is incorporated slowly, allowing the mixture to thicken without scorching. Vanilla extract and sugar are added for flavor and sweetness, finishing with a brief resting period off the heat for the flavors to meld. The result is a gently thickened pudding with a tender but not mushy texture and a lingering creamy sauce.
Thanks to its mild sweetness and vanilla notes, this dessert can be served plain or accompanied by fruit or nuts if desired. Its creamy texture and gently sweet flavor make it suitable as a soothing end to a meal or a light snack.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Pudding rice Arborio rice, or risotto rice
- 1 cup water
