Creamy Baked Rice Pudding with Cinnamon

 

Here's a delicious Creamy Baked Rice Pudding with Cinnamon recipe that's rich, comforting, and easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked rice (jasmine or short-grain for a creamier texture)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• ½ cup raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

3. Add milk and heavy cream, whisking until smooth.

4. Stir in cooked rice and raisins (if using). Mix well.

5. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.

6. Bake for 40–50 minutes, stirring gently after 20 minutes to redistribute the rice. The pudding is ready when the top is lightly golden, and the center is set but still slightly wobbly.

7. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon before serving.

8. Serve warm or chilled, plain or with whipped cream, honey, or fresh fruit.
