Best Creamy Rice Pudding

No photos, the rice pudding didn't last long enough! Rice pudding is one of our favorite winter treats. We enjoy it by the blazing fire while watching Jim Henson's The Storyteller (a Christmas tradition)--our favorite is the one with the little devils (full episode here).

Best Creamy Rice Pudding

1 1/2 cups cooked white rice

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 whipping cream

1/3 cup white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon for each serving

 

(Raisins are optional, I don't like them, but you can add a handful at the same time as the cream and egg.)

 

Mix rice, milk, salt and sugar together in pot. Cook over medium heat until think and creamy (about 15 minutes after it comes to a simmer). Stir in cream and beaten egg. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Serve immediately with a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon.

 

This is definitely not diet food!!!
