Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (190 grams, 6.70 ounces) arborio rice
  • 1 cup (250 ml/grams, 8.81 ounces) water
  • 2 cups (500 ml/grams, 17.64 ounces) milk of choice
  • 25 grams (0.88 ounces) white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams, 0.98 ounces) butter softened
  • 1 cinnamon stick about 3-4 cm 1.18 – 1.57 inches in length (or use a pinch of ground cinnamon)
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • ½ cup (125 ml/grams, 4.41 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons (20 grams, 0.71 ounces) nuts roughly chopped, optional
  • 2 tablespoons (26 grams, 0.87 ounces) dried fruit of choice like dried apricots or raisins, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the rice, water, milk, sugar, butter, cinnamon stick, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, condensed milk, and salt in a medium sized saucepan.
  • Place over medium to high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to bring to a simmer. See note 1.
  • Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 35 minutes or until the rice is cooked. See note 2.
  • Turn off heat, remove the cinnamon stick and mix through the chopped nuts (if using) and dried fruit.
  • Allow to cool before serving warm, or refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.

Notes

  1. Make sure you have some clearance from the top of the saucepan. You do not want to fill your saucepan to the top.
  2. It is best not to leave your saucepan unattended as the milk can boil over. If you find that your liquid is rising, remove the pot from the heat and gently stir the mixture. Then place over heat again.
  • This rice pudding with thicken as it cools. If you want it thinner after cooling, add some milk or water. Adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
