Ingredients

• 1/3 cup short-grain rice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• A pinch of salt
• 1 1/3 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• 1/3 cup raisins
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

1. Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the short-grain rice and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

2. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 25 minutes or until it becomes very tender and most of the water is absorbed.

3. Prepare the Sweet Mixture: While the rice is cooking, in a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

4. Combine with Milk: Once the rice is cooked, add the milk and the prepared sugar mixture to the saucepan with the rice. Stir to combine.

5. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning.

6. Thicken the Pudding: Allow the mixture to boil for about 1 minute, continuing to stir constantly. This will help thicken the pudding.

7. Add Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a creamy and fragrant base for the pudding.

8. Temper the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot rice mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly. This process, known as tempering, prevents the eggs from curdling when added to the hot pudding.

9. Combine with Rice Mixture: Immediately pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rice pudding. Add the raisins and sprinkle in the nutmeg. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

10. Cook Further: Return the saucepan to medium heat. Cook the pudding mixture, stirring frequently, just until it starts to bubble. This will take about 5 minutes.

11. Finish and Serve: Once the mixture bubbles, remove the saucepan from the heat. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.

12. Brulee the Pudding (Optional): For an extra-special touch, use a kitchen torch to brulee the top of the rice pudding just before serving. This will create a caramelized crust that adds both flavor and texture to the dessert.

13. Let it Rest: Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. For optimal flavor, cover it and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify.

14. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the warm Old Fashion Rice Pudding Brulee into individual serving dishes. Garnish with additional nutmeg or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Serve and savor every creamy, comforting bite.

This Old Fashion Rice Pudding Brulee is a delightful treat that elevates a classic dessert to new heights. Creamy, rich, and infused with warm spices, it’s the perfect indulgence for any occasion. Whether enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, this rice pudding is sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
