Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup short-grain rice (arborio or sushi rice)
- 2 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh fruits or nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until it runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine rinsed rice and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the rice is tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Allow the mixture to bubble gently for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
- Serve warm in bowls, topped with fresh fruits or nuts if desired.
Notes
- For creamier texture, always use short-grain rice.
- Customize flavors by adding dried fruits like raisins or spices such as nutmeg or cardamom.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat with a splash of milk.
