Easiest Rice Pudding


My Mom-Mom always talked about when she made her rice pudding for her kids. She always made it on a really cold day because her rice pudding took about 2 hours in the oven. Having a big house and 6 kids, she made the rice pudding when she needed to warm up the house on a nice cold day. Today's lifestyle is a lot different. So here is a very simple and fairly quick rice pudding.

1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp coarse salt
4 3/4 cup whole milk
11/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup heavy cream

In a large saucepan, bring rice, sugar, salt, and 4 1/2 cups of the milk to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
Uncover and cook, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
Stir in vanilla and remaining 1/4 cup of milk.
Transfer to a serving dish and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1hour.
Stir in heavy cream and serve.
