Equipment

1 large, heavy cooking pot with lid

Ingredients

100 g pudding rice
2 tbsp sugar - golden caster or white granulated
600 ml milk
100 ml cream - double/heavy
1 tsp vanilla extract or bean paste - adjust to taste

Metric - USA Cups

Instructions

Put all the ingredients in a heavy cooking pot that has a well-fitted lid. Stir well.
Set the pan over a low heat and bring to a simmer. Then turn the heat right down and put the lid on.
Cook for 30–40 minutes, stirring every five minutes and scraping the sides and base of the pan to prevent sticking and burning.
Remove from the heat after 40 minutes and remove the cinnamon stick. Serve hot.

Notes

Storage

If you want to make your eggnog rice pudding ahead of time, use a little extra milk in the recipe, as it will thicken if you need to keep it for hours.

Fridge – Keep your rice pudding covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a pan on the stove or in the microwave (which is quicker and cheaper). You may need to add some more milk or cream to loosen it.

Freezer – Yes, rice pudding can be frozen! Allow it to cool, pack into an airtight box and freeze for up to 3 months. Just defrost and reheat. Again, you might need to add some extra liquid when you reheat.

Hints and tips

This is a very easy recipe and the most important point to ensure great results is to use a good, heavy pan so that you can cook long and slow without burning.

If you want to make your pudding in advance, add an extra 100 ml of milk at the outset. The pudding will thicken over time and you want to flavour all of the milk, rather than add extra later.
