Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Step 4

Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot rice mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

Step 5

Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rice, stirring constantly.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine, and cook for another 5-7 minutes over low heat until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated. If using raisins, fold them in at this stage.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for 5–10 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, with an optional sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
