VANILLA BEAN ARBORIO RICE PUDDING

Ready in: 50 MinTotal time: 50 Min

Rice pudding is only made better by using Italian short-grain rice and lots of pure, sweet vanilla flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup arborio risotto rice
• 3 cups organic heavy cream
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 vanilla bean, split in half & seeds scraped out or 2 teaspoons vanilla paste
• Pinch of salt
• Roasted and chopped almonds, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, heavy cream, water, sugar, vanilla bean (seeds and bean itself) and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and to avoid scorching the bottom of the pan. Once the mixture comes to a boil reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice pudding gently for 45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through but still slightly al dente.
2. Remove the rice pudding from the heat, discard the vanilla bean, divide into 6 ramekins or small serving bowls and refrigerate until chilled.
3. Garnish with chopped almonds and serve cold.
