Recipe of Creamy Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups whole milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ½ cup raisins (optional)
• 2 tbsps butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• chopped nuts and additional cinnamon for garnish

Instructions:

• Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice pudding from becoming too sticky.

• In your SENSARTE Nonstick Sauce Pan, combine the rinsed rice, milk, and heavy cream. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

• Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid, leaving a slight gap to allow steam to escape. Let the rice simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

• In another SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the raisins (if using) and sauté for a few minutes until they plump up.

• Once the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, stir in the granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• Combine the sautéed raisins and brown sugar with the rice pudding mixture. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.

• Remove the rice pudding from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.

• Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled in individual bowls. Garnish with chopped nuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
