Ingredients
Scale
Grains:
- ¾ cup uncooked white rice
Dairy and Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
Spices and Extras:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins or sultanas
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Boil 1½ cups water in a saucepan and add ¾ cup rice. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until rice absorbs water and becomes tender. Drain excess liquid.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk together 3 cups whole milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, gently beat 2 large eggs, then blend them into the milk mixture until completely smooth.
- Spread your cooked rice evenly across the prepared baking dish. Scatter ½ cup raisins across the surface if desired.
- Pour the entire milk-egg custard over the rice, using a spatula to gently incorporate everything without disturbing the rice layer.
- Position your baking dish inside a larger pan and carefully pour hot water around it, creating a water bath about 1 inch deep.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, stirring once midway through cooking.
- Check for a golden surface with a slight center wobble. Remove from oven and let rest 10-15 minutes before serving warm or chilled.
Notes
- Toast the rice lightly in a dry pan before boiling to enhance its nutty flavor and give the pudding more depth.
- Swap out raisins for other dried fruits like chopped dates or cranberries for a personalized touch.
- Check the pudding at 45 minutes, as oven temperatures can vary and prevent overcooking, which makes the texture grainy.
- Use whole milk and full-fat condensed milk for the richest, creamiest result and most luxurious mouthfeel.
