Traditional Italian Rice Pudding
Ingredients
  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cup Arborio rice
  • 3/4 cup white sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1
Combine milk, rice, half of the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar and eggs until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
3
Gradually add the milk mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 30-40 minutes. Fold in the custard mixture and continue to cook until it reaches the desired consistency, approximately 5 minutes more.
4
Using an electric mixer, whip the cream in a chilled bowl until it forms soft peaks.
5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes. Fold in the whipped cream to create a smooth, velvety texture.
6
Pour the pudding mixture into a serving dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled to perfection
