Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, add the Arborio rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the water.

Making the Pudding

  1. 3

    Add Milk and Sugar

    After the rice has absorbed the water, add the milk, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Cook the Pudding

    Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, for 25-30 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

    Add Cinnamon

    Once thickened, stir in the ground cinnamon. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly.
