Ingredients

• 1 cup Short-grain white rice
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it thoroughly.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 2 cups of whole milk, and the salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the rice for about 20 minutes or until it is tender and the liquid has been mostly absorbed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of whole milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, granulated sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the custard mixture into the saucepan with the cooked rice, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 6

Cook the pudding over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes or until it thickens to a creamy consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or a large dish. Allow it to cool slightly before serving warm, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours if you prefer it cold.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
