Description
A deliciously creamy rice pudding made with short-grain rice, sweetened condensed milk, and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Short-Grain White Rice
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 cups Full-Fat Milk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a gentle 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart (or 8×8-inch) baking dish with a little unsalted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack your large eggs and give them a light whisk until just combined.
- To the eggs, add the entire can of sweetened condensed milk, the full-fat milk, and the vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Next, stir in your uncooked short-grain white rice, the ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and that essential pinch of salt. Make sure the rice is fully submerged and evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Pour the entire rice and milk mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Carefully place the baking dish into your preheated oven.
- Bake for 1 hour, then gently remove the dish from the oven and give the pudding a good stir with a spoon.
- Return the dish to the oven and continue baking for another 1 to 1 hour, or until the rice is tender, the pudding is thick and creamy, and the top has a lovely golden-brown crust.
- Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the pudding from the oven.
- Let it rest on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm, perhaps with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, some fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
