Ingredients

4 cups
Rice
1 cup, short-grain or medium-grain
Sugar
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Divide the warm rice pudding into serving bowls or dessert cups.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cardamom along with the cinnamon.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker pudding, reduce the amount of milk slightly or cook for a few more minutes.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute pistachios with almonds or walnuts for a different texture and flavor.
