Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Arborio rice (1 cup)
  • Whole milk (4 cups)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon, plus extra for serving)
  • Butter (2 tablespoons)
  • Raisins (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  4. Stir in the raisins and butter, letting the butter melt thoroughly and the raisins plump up in the warm pudding.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding sit for 10 minutes to achieve the desired soggy texture.
  6. Serve warm or chilled, and sprinkle additional ground cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor.
