Description

A creamy and comforting Perfect Rice Pudding made with whole milk or coconut milk, sweetened with maple syrup or honey, and flavored with vanilla and cinnamon. This easy and classic dessert is cooked on the stovetop until the rice is tender, then enriched with raisins for a delightful texture. Serve it warm or chilled for a versatile treat suitable for any season.

Ingredients

Scale

Milk and Rice

  • 4 ½ cups whole milk or full-fat coconut milk
  • ¾ cup short grain rice

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • pinch kosher salt
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan, stir together the milk, rice, maple syrup, and salt to create the base mixture for the pudding.
  2. Simmer the Rice: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat while stirring frequently to avoid sticking or burning on the bottom.
  3. Cook on Low Heat: Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the saucepan with a lid, and continue cooking for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir often during this time to prevent the rice from sticking and ensure the grains become tender and creamy.
  4. Finish and Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the raisins, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to infuse the pudding with warm, sweet notes.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the pudding warm for a creamy texture or allow it to cool where it will thicken further. It can be served cold or at room temperature depending on preference.

Notes

  • This rice pudding is a perfect winter dessert that provides warmth and comfort.
  • Use short grain rice for the best creamy and tender texture.
  • Maple syrup or honey can be used interchangeably for natural sweetness.
  • Stirring frequently during cooking prevents the rice from sticking and burning.
  • The pudding thickens as it cools, so expect it to be thinner when hot.
