🌟 Introduction
Old-fashioned rice pudding is more than a dessert — it’s a memory. The gentle simmer on the stove, the sweet scent of vanilla, and that first warm spoonful that feels like a hug from the past.
This is the classic version: rich, creamy, and made slowly, just the way it was prepared in home kitchens for generations. Simple ingredients. Patient cooking. Pure comfort.
🧾 Ingredients
Traditional pantry staples, nothing fancy:
- 1 cup white rice (long-grain or medium-grain)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of salt, cinnamon, or nutmeg
🍳 Instructions
- Rinse rice and place in a saucepan with 2 cups water.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender.
- Add milk and heavy cream, stirring gently.
- Cook on low heat until thick and creamy (about 15–20 minutes).
- In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together.
- Slowly add a ladle of hot pudding into eggs (to temper).
- Pour egg mixture back into the pot, stirring constantly.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Let rest slightly before serving.
🔥 Cooking Method
This pudding uses a slow simmer and tempering method. Gentle heat prevents curdling, while eggs create a naturally thick, custard-like texture without cornstarch.
