Vanilla Rice Pudding
with Cranberry, Pecan & Cinnamon
Serves four people
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 Cup Cold Water
- .75 Cup Rice, Uncooked (I Prefer Basmati)
- 2 Cups of Milk, divided. 1.5 Cup and a .5 Cup
- .33 Cup Granulated White Sugar
- Pinch of Kosher Salt
- 1 Large Egg, Beaten
- .66 Cup Craisins
- 1 TBS butter, Cold
- 1 TSP London Derry’s Vanilla Extract
- .75 Cup of Chopped Pecans
DIRECTIONS
- Gather all ingredients. (This is called your “mise en place”)
- In a sauce pot, bring the water to a boil. Then add rice. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add 1.5 cup of milk, sugar and salt to the cooked rice. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until thick and creamy, about 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk .5 cup of milk and the egg. Add the egg mix to the rice mixture with the craisins, stirring constantly to prevent burning, for about two minutes more.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cold butter and vanilla
- Sprinkle with Chopped Pecans over the top of the pudding. Serve warm or chilled.
