Ingredients

• 1 cup Long-grain white rice
• 2 cups Water
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the rice pudding.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

In a separate large saucepan, combine the cooked rice, 4 cups of whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom, for about 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and unsalted butter, mixing well to incorporate.

Step 5

Drain any excess liquid from the soaked raisins and fold them into the rice pudding. Cook for another 5 minutes to ensure the raisins are evenly distributed and warmed through.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve the rum raisin rice pudding warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or whipped cream before serving.
