Chef John's easy one-pot creamy rice pudding - your new favorite dessert!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 1.3333333730698 cups milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter
  • 2 tablespoons dried cherries, chopped
Instructions:
  • Combine rice, salt, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and add sugar and milk. Stir with a whisk until the cooked-on starch at the bottom of the pan is fully incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  • - Heat a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches your preferred level of doneness and creaminess, for 8 to 10 minutes. The longer it cooks, the thicker and stickier it will become. - Remove the pan from the heat, then mix in vanilla and cinnamon swiftly. - Slowly whisk in the egg yolk to prevent it from cooking for about 1 minute. - Add butter and dried cherries, stirring thoroughly.
  • Pour the warm pudding into serving dishes and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the dishes and refrigerate until completely chilled, which will take 3 to 4 hours.
