Instructions
- Combine the rice, cinnamon sticks, salt, and water in a medium or large Dutch oven or pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until most of the water has evaporated.
- Stir in the milk, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until the pumpkin is smooth and fully dissolved. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken and cool.
- Serve in bowls with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and chopped nuts.
Notes
- Milk: I used 2%, but you could also use whole milk for a thicker and richer flavor. This recipe has not been tested with a milk alternative like almond, soy, oat, or cashew milk.
- Pumpkin: Use 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
