Creamy Baked Rice Pudding with Cinnamon

 






Creamy Baked Rice Pudding with Cinnamon 


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice (short-grain or Arborio for creaminess)
  • 4 cups whole milk (or a mix of milk and heavy cream for extra richness)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven:

    • Set your oven to 325°F (163°C).
    • Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Cook the rice:

    • In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
    • Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
    • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the custard mixture:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
    • Gradually whisk in the milk until fully combined.
  4. Combine ingredients:

    • Stir the cooked rice and raisins (if using) into the milk mixture.
    • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake:

    • Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water (a water bath) to ensure even baking and a creamy texture.
    • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the pudding is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Finishing touches:

    • Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.
    • Sprinkle with additional cinnamon before serving.
  7. Serve warm or chilled:

    • Enjoy warm for a cozy dessert, or refrigerate for a few hours to enjoy a chilled version.

Tips for the Best Rice Pudding:

  • Use whole milk or a mix of milk and cream for extra creaminess.
  • Stir in nuts, such as almonds or pecans, for added texture.
  • Add a splash of rum or almond extract for a unique flavor twist.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.

Enjoy your creamy baked rice pudding with cinnamon, a classic comfort food that's simple yet satisfying!
