Instructions
- Combine 5 ½ cups milk, sugar, cinnamon stick and salt in a large saucepan over medium to medium-high heat.
- Bring the milk mixture to a boil.
- Add the uncooked rice to the milk, mix well, and reduce the heat to low.
- Allow the rice mixture to cook at a gentle simmer, reducing heat as needed.
- Continue cooking the rice mixture for 45- 60 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure it isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan. (depending on the stovetop heat, the time can vary).
- The rice pudding mixture will thicken up to consistency of Greek yogurt.
- Once thickened, remove from the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and raisins.
- Allow the rice pudding to cool and if needed, add the additional milk to thin out the mixture or if you’re feeling decadent, add heavy cream instead of milk.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon to serve, and top with freshly made whipped cream. If you want to forgo the whipped cream stir a little heavy cream into each portion before serving.
