Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Arborio rice (or any short-grain rice)
- 4 cups whole milk (or a combination of milk and cream for richness)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans, optional)
- Ground nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out all the ingredients accurately to ensure the right consistency and flavor.
- Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- If using raisins, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
- Chop any nuts you plan to use into small pieces for even distribution.
- Plug in your Instant Pot and select the “Sauté” function. Allow it to heat up for a couple of minutes.
- Add the rinsed Arborio rice to the pot and toast it lightly for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Once toasted, add the milk, water, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Close the lid and ensure the valve is set to “Sealing.” Select “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” and set the timer for 10 minutes on high pressure.
- After cooking, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to “Venting.”
- Open the lid and stir the rice pudding, which will be liquidy but will thicken as it cools.
- If using raisins, fold them into the pudding. For a creamier texture, stir in an additional splash of milk or cream.
- Adjust flavor with more cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg to taste.
- Fold in chopped nuts, reserving some for garnish if desired.
- Let the pudding sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken further. Serve warm or chilled.
- Ladle the pudding into bowls or dessert cups.
- Garnish with ground nutmeg or additional cinnamon.
- Optionally, add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for an elegant touch.
- Enjoy your homemade rice pudding warm or chilled!
