Ingredients

  • 5 cups - whole milk
  • ¼ cup - sugar
  • ½ tsp - Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp - ground cardamom
  • ½ cup - white rice
  • 1 tsp - vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Combine the milk, sugar, salt, cardamom, and rice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, stirring to prevent burning.
  2. Then, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring very often, until the rice is tender and the pudding is the consistency of yogurt, about 50-55 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste or extract.
  4. Serve the pudding warm, or let it cool and store it in an airtight container. Refrigerate until chilled and serve with any of your favorite toppings.
