Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup uncooked white long-grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Combine the 100g uncooked rice, 475ml water, cinnamon stick, and 1/4 tsp salt in your saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is mostly absorbed. Note: Don't peek too often or you'll lose the steam.
  4. Stir in the 475ml whole milk and 397g sweetened condensed milk.
  5. Increase the heat to medium low.
  6. Stir constantly with your whisk or spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  7. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Note: Constant stirring is the only way to avoid scorching.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat immediately.
  9. Stir in the 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
  10. Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to thicken further before you scoop it into bowls.
