Treat your ingredients with care...
- Arborio rice — Use Arborio rice for its high starch content, which contributes to the creamy texture of the pudding.
- Whole milk — Whole milk provides richness and creaminess to the dish. Avoid using low-fat milk for the best results.
- Ground cinnamon — Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your preference for a stronger or milder cinnamon flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent the pudding from becoming too sticky.
- Stir the pudding occasionally while simmering to ensure even cooking and to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- For a twist, you can add raisins or chopped nuts to the pudding for added texture and flavor.
- If the pudding becomes too thick upon cooling, you can stir in a little extra milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- Serve the Creamy Rice Pudding with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
Serving advice
Serve the Creamy Rice Pudding warm or chilled, depending on your preference. It can be enjoyed as a comforting dessert on its own or paired with fresh berries or a fruit compote for a burst of freshness.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, you can sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon in a decorative pattern on top of the pudding. Serve it in individual dessert bowls or ramekins for an elegant touch.
