Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, combine milk, rice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and raisins. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally while scraping the base and sides of the pan with a wooden spoon, until thick and creamy (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Once rice is soft and cooked through, add in the condensed milk and butter. Add slightly more (1/4 cup or so) of extra milk if you need to needed to achieve desired consistency.
  • Pour the rice among serving bowls; sprinkle with extra ground cinnamon and raisins.
  • Allow to cool, about 10 minutes before serving. Or, if you desire it chilled, pour pudding into a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate until chilled. Pour the rice among serving bowls, sprinkle with extra cinnamon and raisins and top with whipped cream, if desired.
