Creamy Rice Pudding
Thermomix recipe: Creamy Rice Pudding. Ready in 50 minutes. Serves 4. Step-by-step Thermomix instructions on Chef Amai.
Ingredients
- 150 g short-grain rice (pudding rice or Arborio)
- 1000 g full-fat milk
- 70 g granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1 vanilla pod, split and scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- Pinch of salt
- Cinnamon, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- If using a vanilla pod, add the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla pod (split and scraped), and salt to the Thermomix bowl. If using vanilla extract, add milk, sugar, and salt to the bowl.
- Heat the mixture for 8 min / 90°C / Speed 1 to warm the milk and infuse the vanilla if using a pod.
- Add the short-grain rice to the bowl. If using vanilla extract, add it now.
- Cook for 35 min / 90°C / Speed 2 / Reverse. Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to allow for evaporation and prevent splatters. The mixture should sound like a steady churn, not laboured.
- After 20 minutes of cooking, pause the machine. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with the spatula to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Continue cooking.
- At the end of cooking, check the consistency. If it's too thick, add 50-100 g more milk and cook for another 2-3 min / 90°C / Speed 2 / Reverse. If too thin, cook for another 5-10 min / 90°C / Speed 2 / Reverse with the simmering basket on the lid.
- Stir for 1 min / 90°C / Speed 1 / Reverse to ensure even distribution and prevent any sticking at the bottom.
- Pour the rice pudding into serving bowls. Remove the vanilla pod if used. Serve warm or chilled, optionally sprinkled with cinnamon or with your favourite fruit compote.
