Creamy Rice Pudding image

I remember eating rice pudding as a kid, but it was never as creamy as this! I loved how this has a sweet custard-like consistency. And it's a snap to make.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 c rice
2 1/3 c water, cold
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
2 2/3 c half and half
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
2/3 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Bring water and rice to a boil and cook until almost all of water has been absorbed.
  • 2. Stir in cornstarch and salt.
  • 3. Add half and half and bring to a boil, cooking over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute.
  • 4. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. While butter is melting, mix together egg yolks and sugar in a 2 cup measuring cup.
  • 5. Add hot rice mixture a little at a time to the egg yolk sugar mixture, stirring after each addition. I add about 1 cup of the hot rice mixture to bring the temperature of the egg/sugar mixture up so that the eggs don't scramble when you add it back into the pot of rice. This step is called tempering the eggs.
  • 6. Pour the egg/sugar/rice mixture from the measuring cup back into the pot and stir. Cook over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil one minute.
  • 7. Remove from heat and pour rice pudding into a bowl to cool. Serve warm or refrigerate.
