Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
- Whipped cream and cinnamon, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a large saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the rice is partially cooked and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the raisins.
- Transfer the rice pudding mixture to a greased baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The pudding will continue to firm up as it cools.
- Serve the Baked Swedish Rice Pudding warm or chilled, and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
