Son’s Favourite Rice Pudding
Special Note: The whipping cream is optional but if you go for it, it truly turns this into a rich lush dessert treat.
Ingredients:
1/2 c short grain rice
4c whole milk
1/4c brown sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
1/2 whipping cream (optional)
Instructions:
Put the rice, milk, sugar and vanilla in an uncovered saucepan over medium-low heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice has absorbed almost all the milk (about 50 minutes).
It should be runny thick, like tapioca.
Remove from the heat and pluck out the vanilla bean.
Transfer to a bowl.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap (like saran wrap) onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, whip the cream into peaks and fold as much as you’d like into the mixture. Pour into a serving bowl, wrap and chill thoroughly.
Serving: This is delicious served plain! But also great with fresh raspberries or raspberry coulis or, especially in the winter, try simply sprinkling a little cinnamon on top.
