Caramelized Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put milk, rice, and vanilla bean and seeds into a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice has absorbed most of the liquid, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard vanilla bean.
• Whisk cream, granulated sugar, salt, yolks, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour into rice mixture, stirring constantly. Return to heat; bring to a simmer. Divide among four 6-ounce ramekins set in a roasting pan; add boiling water halfway up sides.

Steps:

Pour in the rice and stir well. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat when all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
• Remove the vanilla pod. Add the egg yolks, return to the hob and heat gently for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and leave to cool.
• To make the caramel sauce, heat the sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat. Keep an eye on it and stir frequently to ensure the sugar doesn't burn. When the sugar has melted remove the pan from the heat, leave to cool for about a minute, then slowly pour in the cream and stir until you have a smooth sauce.
