Who wants to sit down to a bowl of Old Fashioned Rice Pudding? I love the Creamy texture of the rice pudding, with just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of cinnamon and loaded with plump golden raisins.

Ingredients
- 6 cups whole milk divided
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ heaping cup long grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ⅔ cup golden raisins – optional
- cinnamon powder for garnish
- whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
-
Combine 5 ½ cups milk, sugar, cinnamon stick and salt in a large saucepan over medium to medium-high heat.
-
Bring the milk mixture to a boil.
-
Add the uncooked rice to the milk, mix well, and reduce the heat to low.
-
Allow the rice mixture to cook at a gentle simmer, reducing heat as needed.
-
Continue cooking the rice mixture for 45- 60 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure it isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan. (depending on the stovetop heat, the time can vary).
-
The rice pudding mixture will thicken up to consistency of Greek yogurt.
-
Once thickened, remove from the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and raisins.
-
Allow the rice pudding to cool and if needed, add the additional milk to thin out the mixture or if you’re feeling decadent, add heavy cream instead of milk.
-
Sprinkle with cinnamon to serve, and top with freshly made whipped cream. If you want to forgo the whipped cream stir a little heavy cream into each portion before serving.
