Creamy Dreamy Rice Pudding
4 - 6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1 cup rice, such as long grain (my favorite is baby basmati)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (important to control foaming) 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 split vanilla bean, Tahitian preferred 1/2 cups half and half
3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
METHOD
1Combine water, rice, butter, salt and vanilla bean in cooking pot.
2Lock lid in place. Select Rice setting, but cancel cooking after 5 minutes (1 minute earlier than preset time.)
3When cooking cycle is complete, allow pressure to release naturally. When all pressure has been released, remove lid, tilting it away from you to avoid steam.
4. Add remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly.
5The pudding will be quite runny, but that is how I prefer it since it thickens up considerably as it cools. If you like it thick, select Rice setting again but do not lock on lid. Bring to a full boil and turn off.
6Serve warm. Add dried fruit, fresh fruit, cinnamon or other spices as desired.
