Budino di Riso

RICETTA -

6 cups full cream milk

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cups arborio rice

1 satchel of vanillina (or vanilla extract)

2 egg yolks

1 cup cream

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

METHOD

  • Bring the milk, sugar , vanilla to boil.

  • Add the rice, return to boil, then turn right down to let cook for half hour.

  • Whisk 2 egg yolks in a bowl. When rice has cooked for half an hour, scoop out a ladel worth into the egg yolks and whisk vigorously so they don’t scramble

  • Add yolk mixture & cream into the pot with the rice and simmer for another 5 or so minutes

  • Add the cinnamon (or not if you don’t like it)

  • NB always stir your rice often when on the heat to avoid milk burning on the bottom of the pot and once taken off the heat let it rest a while stirring every so often
