Steps to Prepare Baked Rice Rice Pudding With Cooked Rice

Italian (Arborio) Rice Pudding

The british version of rice pudding is made similarly to our recipe, but instead of making it on a stovetop, the uk's rice pudding is baked in the oven like a pudding casserole.

Recipe Summary Italian (Arborio) Rice Pudding

A very rich, smooth, and creamy rice pudding with a hint of lemon. Pudding will thicken as it cools, but it's best served at room temperature or slightly warm.

Ingredients | Baked Rice Rice Pudding With Cooked Rice

2 cups water

1 cup Arborio rice

1 tablespoon butter

¼ teaspoon salt

3 cups half-and-half

1 cup sugar

1 cinnamon stick

1 (1 1/2 inch) piece lemon peel, or more to taste

1 pinch ground cinnamon, for garnish

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan; add rice, butter, and salt. Place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook rice at a simmer until the rice is tender and the moisture is mostly absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Stir half-and-half and sugar into the rice until the sugar dissolves; add cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.

Place a large stainless steel bowl atop a pot of simmering water. Pour the rice mixture into the top of the double boiler and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 45 minutes.

Pour rice pudding into a serving dish. Remove and discard cinnamon stick and lemon peel from pudding; let cool slightly before garnishing with cinnamon to serve.

I try to get the double boiler simmering before the mixture is ready to be added.

For a more subtle cinnamon flavor, add the cinnamon stick after putting the mixture into the double boiler.

Other risotto type rices will work, but Arborio and Carnaroli are the best.
