Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups milk
- 3 eggs
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
Seasoning and Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare a welcoming environment for the rice pudding by heating the oven to 325F (160C), ensuring a cozy baking atmosphere.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, precooked rice, sugar, raisins, vanilla, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, blending the ingredients into a harmonious mixture.
- Transfer the creamy concoction into a 10x6x2-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and allow the pudding to bake for 25 minutes, gently disrupting its surface with a careful stir to promote even cooking.
- Dust the surface with a delicate sprinkle of cinnamon, then return the pudding to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes until a knife inserted near the center emerges pristine and clean.
- Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and let the pudding rest briefly, offering the option to enjoy it either warmly embracing or refreshingly chilled, with an optional drizzle of light cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Customize the rice by using brown rice for added fiber and nutty flavor, making the dessert more nutritious.
- Replace raisins with alternative mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips to suit different taste preferences.
- Create a dairy-free version by substituting dairy milk with coconut milk or almond milk, ensuring those with lactose intolerance can enjoy this comforting dessert.
- Control sweetness by reducing sugar or using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a healthier twist on the classic recipe.
