Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe (Dessert Risotto)

I've taken my some of my favorite ways to eat rice and mashed them up into a rice pudding that I'm calling dessert risotto. It's an extremely creamy and luxurious way to eat your carbs.

🔪MY GEAR:

------
RECIPE
------
RICE RISOTTO-PUDDING
▪115g/1 stick unsalted butter
▪300g or 1 1/2c arborio rice (not rinsed)
▪700g or 2 3/4c milk (unsweetened non-dairy milk also works here)
▪400g/1 can heavy coconut milk + additional 170g-200g or ¾-1c coconut milk to finish
▪6g or 1sp salt
▪100g or 1/4c sweetened condensed milk
▪3g or 3/4tsp vanilla extract

Heat large, heavy bottomed pot over medium high. Add butter and melt. Add rice. Stir and fry rice in the butter until rice is becoming translucent on the outside and butter is just starting to brown.

Preheat sauce pan over med-high and add in milk, 400g/1can coconut milk & salt. Stir and bring to a simmer.

Add ¼ or 250g of hot milk mix to rice. Stir then simmer over medium heat for about 2 min or until milk is absorbed into the rice, stirring occasionally. Add in another 250g of the milk mix, stirring every 30 seconds or so until milk is again absorbed into the rice. Add remaining milk (about 500g at this point). Stir, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook covered for 15min. Stir, remove from heat, recover, and allow to steam for 10-12 more minutes until tender and most of the milk has been absorbed. Stir in sweetened condensed milk & vanilla. To finish, stir in Additional 170g/3/4c warmed coconut milk. Plate up and garnish with an additional 3-4 spoonfuls of hot coconut milk on top, mango, pinch of flaky salt, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.

Finally someone is saying online what I have said for years. Rice pudding is sweet risotto.

I love how just about every culture has some version of "hot milky rice dessert" I grew up in missouri and my mom always made a sugary milky rice dish with cinnamon and raisins

[BobaSlayer]

I made rice pudding out of risotto once. I chilled it in a ramekin, tipped it out, bruleed the top, and added some fruit compote on the side. Was incredible.

In Germany we eat something similar for lunch sometimes: It is called Milchreis. We use a starchy short grain rice that is sold as Milchreis. It is similar to risotto rice. I combine 4 part milk with 1 part rice, bring to boil, cut off heat and wait 45 minutes until rice is soft. I top it with sugar, cinnamon, applesauce and brown butter. My favorite dish as a child. The dry rice itself is pretty cheap and makes a great substitute for relatively expensive arborio rice.

I'm definitely going to make this one! Rice pudding was a frequent breakfast growing up usually made with leftover medium grain rice (we'd buy 30lb bags of calrose). The texture on this looks amazing! I might add a bit of ground cardamom or steep some in the milk because I love the flavor and it goes great with mango and coconut.

OMG, I love it. The fact that you had to say "Whatever milk you're not offended by" truly just spells out where we are as a culture today.

[ThatCuberJoey]

Gotta make this for my Cuban in-laws! They're sweet risotto aficionados.

i make my Portuguese grandmother’s rice pudding recipe every time i go home for thanksgiving and christmas, it uses like 7 cups of milk, a bunch of egg yolks, sugar, lemon rind, and cinnamon on top (i like to put some inside too but my dad prefers it to be just on top). it takes foreverrrr to make though, im standing over the stove stirring it for so long until it gets thickened from the eggs. the recipe makes two big trays worth, so it’s great to have when family is over.

In Sweden, rice pudding or „rice porridge“ is so popular, there are even ready made small containers with a variety if fruit sauces to buy on the go. Kids use to love it.

[leahr.]

YES😊
My mom always made a baked rice pudding that was made with eggs it was more of a custard with cinnamon and raisins sooo good. Yours with the coconut milk reminds me of the Indian dessert with coconut and pistachios although the ones in the restaurants are usually too sweet.

[JackTheSt_Ripper]

this is something we eat every Saturday. :P A very Norwegian tradition is also to eat this at Christmas. To make it even better, save the left overs and let it cool completely down, add some whiped cream and serve with a delicious strawberry sauce. Yum!

[guillegnrgonzalez]

congratulations from Argentina!! I always make your recipes, thank you very much!

[mynameisforrest]

This dish is also common in Sweden. It’s eaten mostly in the winter and its especially associated with christmas. We usually eat it with sugar, cinnamon and milk.

If you are going to serve cold rice pudding, here's something I really consider a game changer: before serving, whip up some heavy cream and fold it under the rice. This will make your rice pudding incredibly creamy luxurious and (kind of) light and prevents it from being dry and sticky.

[jazzy_taste]

Yummy! Rice pudding is actually a very common dessert here in Bulgaria, but we do not add coconut milk and we serve it by sprinkling cinnamon on the top. I'll try it with mango next time, thank you for the idea😁😊👩🏻‍🍳

[juanjosebarrantes]

Here in Costa Rica, we add raisins and grated coconut after adding the condensed milk. It's a great dessert!

[proth]

Love the risotto technique in this classic comfort dish!

[maximvanrusselt]

I started dry toasting my arborio when making risotto without any oil or butter to get an even more pronounced nutty flavour.
Would probably work great with this dish too!

[DrBrunoRecipes]

Delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

[coalhair]
