Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- 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.
- Stir in the raisins and butter, letting the butter melt thoroughly and the raisins plump up in the warm pudding.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding sit for 10 minutes to achieve the desired soggy texture.
- Serve warm or chilled, and sprinkle additional ground cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the whole milk with coconut milk.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg for an additional layer of warmth.
- To make it a bit more indulgent, top the pudding with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.
