Description

Indulge in the creamy goodness of this delightful Creamy Rice Pudding with a refreshing hint of orange. Perfect for a comforting dessert or a luxurious breakfast treat.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Arborio rice or other short-grain rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Additional Ingredients:

  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Orange segments and ground cinnamon for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a large saucepan, combine rice, milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 30–35 minutes until creamy.
  2. Add Flavors: Stir in orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if desired. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Serve: Enjoy warm or chilled, garnished with orange segments and cinnamon.

Notes

  • For extra richness, substitute half of the milk with coconut milk.
  • You can adjust sweetness or add orange juice for more citrus flavor.
  • The pudding thickens as it cools—add milk when reheating if needed.
