Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain white rice
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Eggnog
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- None None Optional toppings (e.g., whipped cream, raisins, candied pecans)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
Step 2
Once the rice is cooked, add the eggnog, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Increase the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes. The pudding should thicken as it cooks. Be careful not to let it stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Once the pudding has reached your desired thickness, stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 5
Remove the pan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 6
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with optional toppings such as whipped cream, raisins, or candied pecans for an extra festive touch.
