Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Raisins or dried fruits (amount as desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the rice pudding evenly.
  2. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the Arborio rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures a better texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the rinsed rice, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Add Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly, then gradually add them into the rice mixture, stirring continuously to blend everything smoothly.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients: If using, fold in the ground cinnamon and lemon zest now to infuse subtle flavors. Also, fold in raisins or dried fruits for added texture and sweetness.
  6. Pour into Baking Dish: Grease a suitable baking dish and pour the rice pudding mixture evenly into it, smoothing the surface for consistent baking.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set with a slight golden crust forming on top, indicating it’s done.
  8. Cool: Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Cooling helps the pudding firm up for easier serving.
  9. Serve: Serve the rice pudding warm for a cozy dessert, or chill it beforehand if preferred for a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • Rinsing the rice helps prevent overly sticky pudding.
  • Add raisins or dried fruits according to your liking for texture variety.
  • Letting the pudding cool properly improves the texture and flavor meld.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish to ensure even cooking and easy cleanup.
