Instructions:

  1. Cook the Rice:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and 1 cup of milk. Cook over medium heat until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add Ingredients:
    • Stir in the remaining milk, heavy cream, sugar, raisins, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Flavor:
    • Remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract.
  4. Serve:
    • Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm or chilled.
  5. Garnish (Optional):
    • Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon or a few additional raisins if desired.

This creamy rice pudding is perfect for a comforting dessert or a sweet treat any time of day. Enjoy!
