2 Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding Recipe 385

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in an 8-quart saucepan over high heat and stir to combine. Bring to a medium boil or just to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cover. Do not bring this mixture to a roiling boil or else it will boil over and make a mess. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove cover, increase temperature to medium-high, and stir constantly until rice is tender and pudding is thick and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into serving dishes. Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If desired add optional toppings right before serving. Slow Cooker Method: Combine ingredients in a 3-quart slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on high for 1 1/2 to 3 hours or until rice is soft and the pudding is thick. The more you stir the pudding the more it will thicken. Remove cover 15 minutes before the pudding is done and stir until the pudding is thick to your liking.

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cups water, rice, and salt to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add milk, cream, and sugar. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Increase heat to medium; cook uncovered until rice is tender and mixture thickens slightly to a soft, creamy texture, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
• Remove pudding from heat and discard vanilla bean. Divide pudding evenly among small bowls. Serve warm or press plastic wrap directly onto surface of each pudding and chill thoroughly. DO AHEAD: Pudding can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup of milk to boil in medium sauce pan.
• Stir in rice and raisins.
• Cover pan.
• Remove from heat.
• Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare pudding.
• Beat pudding mix into remaining 2 cups of cold milk with whisk for 2 minutes.
• Add rice mixture to pudding and stir.
• Cover surface with plastic wrap.
• Cool 5 minutes.
• Stir.
• Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine milk, rice, sugar, vanilla caviar and pod, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring gently.
• Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover pot and continue to cook, stirring often, until rice is very tender and pudding has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and let pudding cool for 5 minutes; fish out the vanilla bean pod before transferring to a heatproof bowl.
• refrigerate until cold and thick, at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.
• Tip: may add 2 large egg yolks and a sot of dark rum during the last 5 minutes of cooking for a more grownup twist.
• Note: this recipe calls for medium grain white rice (not long- or short-grain rice), which lends the perfect amount of starch, creaminess, and texture to the pudding.
• Cooking time is cooling time.
