Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is creamy.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it. Transfer the rice pudding to serving bowls and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for garnish.
- Refrigerate the rice pudding for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to cool and set.
