Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Add Eggs: Gradually add the beaten eggs to the mixture, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle raisins over the top if using.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg for extra flavor, if desired.
Notes
- For a richer pudding, you can substitute part of the whole milk with heavy cream.
- This pudding can be served warm or chilled. It often tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have had time to meld.
- For a twist, add some lemon zest or orange zest to the mixture for extra freshness.
