| Cooking Life columnist Molly Wizenberg remembers her father with this recipe for one of his favorite dishes, rice pudding. This rich, creamy pudding is delicious served warm or cold. If you feel like dressing up the dessert a bit, add a cinnamon stick while the rice is cooking, or top the finished pudding with a sprinkling of raisins and a little freshly grated nutmeg just before serving. Recipe by Molly Wizenberg Photograph by Misha Gravenor March 2009 INGREDIENTS | |
| 1 1/2 cups | water |
| 3/4 cup | basmati rice |
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 3 cups | whole milk |
| 1 cup | heavy whipping cream |
| 1/2 cup | sugar |
| 1/2 | vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
PREPARATION
Bring 1 1/2 cups water, rice, and salt to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add milk, cream, and sugar. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Increase heat to medium; cook uncovered until rice is tender and mixture thickens slightly to a soft, creamy texture, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
Remove pudding from heat and discard vanilla bean. Divide pudding evenly among small bowls. Serve warm or press plastic wrap directly onto surface of each pudding and chill thoroughly. DO AHEAD Pudding can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.
