Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons - salted butter
  • 1 cup - white basmati rice
  • ⅓ cup - granulated white sugar
  • ⅛ tsp - salt
  • 2 teaspoons - vanilla bean paste*
  • 1 ½ cups - water
  • 2 cups - milk*
  • ½ cup - heavy whipping cream*
  • 1 - whole egg
  • 1 tsp - ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice, sugar, salt, and vanilla bean paste and stir to combine. Add the water and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn the heat down to low. Let simmer on low for 15-17 minutes, stirring every few minutes. The rice should be cooked to your desired doneness now.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whipping cream and egg. Temper the mixture by adding about ½ cup of the hot rice mixture and quickly whisking. Add everything back to the pot and return to cooking over medium heat. Cook the pudding for 3-4 more minutes or until hot and bubbly, to ensure the egg is fully cooked.
  3. Serve hot or cold with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
