Rice Pudding
Rich, creamy rice pudding is delicious warm or cold, and lightly spiced with just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. It's the coziest, most comforting dessert of all! We love it with plump golden raisins!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cooked medium grain rice
- 2 cups whole milk, divided
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup sweetened whipped cream optional
- 2/3 cup golden raisins optional, add in or for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the cooked rice with 1 1/2 cups of the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir for about 15 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken slightly and become creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the remaining milk. Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot rice and milk into the egg mixture to temper the egg. Add the tempered egg mixture to the pan with the hot rice and milk, stirring to combine. Stir in the raisins if using, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or chill and serve cold. For an extra creamy version, mix 1 cup of sweetened whipped cream into the chilled rice pudding.
