Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups milk full fat, low fat or skim
  • 1 cup medium grain rice
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup raisins or sultanas, optional
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk optional
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter optional

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 6 cups of milk, 1 cup of medium grain rice, 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract, and the optional 1/4 cup of raisins. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. This is where the aroma of cinnamon begins to fill your kitchen!
  3. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. You want to let it simmer gently, which allows the rice to absorb the milk and flavors. Stir occasionally, scraping the base and sides of the pan with a wooden spoon to ensure nothing sticks.
  4. After about 15 to 20 minutes, check the texture of the rice. It should be soft and creamy. If it seems too thick, you can add in a little extra milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Once the rice is perfectly cooked, it’s time to mix in the optional 1/2 cup of condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir until well combined, ensuring that the pudding is luxuriously creamy.
  6. Now, it’s time to serve! Pour the warm Cinnamon Rice Pudding into serving bowls. You might want to sprinkle some extra ground cinnamon on top or even some cinnamon sugar for a delightful finishing touch. If you’ve added raisins, a few scattered on top will make it look even more inviting.
  7. Enjoy immediately while it’s warm! The Cinnamon Rice Pudding is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in the fridge for later. Just remember to reheat gently before serving!

Notes

Do not use cooked rice for this recipe! We start from scratch to ensure a creamier texture.
