Easy Rice Pudding

Creamy, comforting rice pudding made with simple ingredients. A classic dessert that warms the soul.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice (short or medium grain)
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking. The pudding will thicken as it cooks.
3. When the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and raisins if using.
4. Serve warm or chilled. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
5. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.

Tips

• For a creamier texture, use short-grain or arborio rice.
• Add an extra 1/2 cup milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
• Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
