RICE PUDDING WITH SEA SALT-CARAMEL SAUCE
With a little love and the right recipe, the humble rice pudding can be positively romantic. Our pudding gets a mousse-like fluff from folding in whipped cream, while toppings such as berries, chopped toffee, pistachios, and a sea-salt-flecked caramel sauce make it dazzle for date night. Pick up your spoons and end the evening on a high note.

Steps:
- Bring milk, rice, and kosher salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture has the texture of creamy porridge, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan, stir together remaining 3/4 cup sugar and corn syrup. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture boils, about 5 minutes. Uncover; continue boiling, swirling pan occasionally until mixture turns amber, 3 to 4 minutes more (if crystals start to form, brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush).
- Carefully add 1/2 cup cream in a steady stream (it will bubble vigorously). Remove from heat, add flaky sea salt, and stir until smooth. Let cool completely.
- Whisk remaining 3/4 cup cream to soft peaks; fold into cooled rice pudding. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours (and up to 2 days). Serve rice pudding in bowls with caramel sauce, pistachios, dried fruits, toffee, and fresh berries on the side.
SALTED-CARAMEL RICE PUDDING
Rice pudding is pure dessert magic. Simple ingredients like jasmine rice, whole milk and sugar cook together to make a luscious treat, and the bittersweet salted caramel swirled throughout makes it even more irresistible. This pudding is flavored with vanilla, but a little orange zest, some instant espresso powder or a few smashed green cardamom pods would take it in another delicious direction.

Steps:
- Prepare the rice pudding: In a medium pot, combine the milk, rice, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the milk has reduced and become creamy and the rice has swollen, about 20 minutes. (Cook a few minutes more if you like a thicker pudding.) You'll be able to see the rice on the surface of the pudding. The mixture will look loose, but it will continue to thicken as it cools. Remove from the heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with a few spoonfuls of the hot pudding. Add about 1 cup more pudding, little by little, then stir the yolk mixture back into the pudding. Stir in the vanilla. Cool slightly, then transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill until cold, about 3 hours.
- Prepare the caramel: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Cook over medium heat, carefully swirling the pan to cook evenly without stirring, until the mixture starts to darken in spots, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cook until the caramel is a deep amber, 1 or 2 minutes. Immediately add the cream and butter, and stir to combine. Cook until the mixture is uniform and creamy, about 1 minute more. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Set aside until cooled to room temperature, about 20 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
- Once the pudding is cold, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk. Just before serving, add the caramel to the cold rice pudding and swirl it through without fully combining.
