For an extra layer of flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom adds a warm, aromatic note. Substitute dried cranberries or chopped dates for the raisins. For a richer pudding, use half-and-half or heavy cream in place of some of the milk. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for an elegant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the whole milk, Carolina gold rice, and white sugar. (2 minutes)
02
Step
25 mins
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (8 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the rice is tender and has absorbed much of the milk, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. This should take approximately 20-25 minutes.
04
Step
1 mins
While the rice simmers, whisk the eggs in a separate bowl until light and frothy. (2 minutes)
05
Step
20 mins
Gradually temper the eggs by slowly drizzling a small amount (about 1/2 cup) of the hot rice mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. (2 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the remaining rice mixture. Stir gently to combine.
07
StepAdd the golden raisins and vanilla extract to the pot. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency. This will take an additional 15-20 minutes. If the pudding becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
08
StepRemove from heat and transfer the Creamy Rice Pudding to a serving bowl or individual ramekins.
09
StepSprinkle generously with ground cinnamon before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
