🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    In a thick-bottomed saucepan, pour the whole milk. Add the sugar, pinch of salt, and the split and scraped vanilla bean. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the round rice to the simmering milk. Stir once to prevent the grains from sticking together. Immediately reduce the heat to minimum.

  3. 3

    Cook for 30-35 minutes over very low heat, stirring regularly with a wooden spatula, especially during the last 10 minutes. The rice should absorb the milk while remaining creamy.

  4. 4

    Check that the rice grains are tender but not mushy. The consistency should be creamy and slightly liquid - the rice will continue to thicken as it cools.

  5. 5

    Off the heat, add the butter cut into small pieces. Gently stir until completely melted and incorporated, giving the rice pudding its shine and final velvety texture.

  6. 6

    Cover the saucepan and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This step allows the rice to absorb the remaining liquid and enhance its creamy texture.

Tips & Tricks
  • Use a thick-bottomed saucepan for even heat distribution
  • Stir regularly to prevent sticking and stimulate starch release
  • For more fluidity, add 50 ml of extra milk at the end of cooking
  • Use a real vanilla bean for an incomparable aroma
  • Serve warm or cold, sprinkled with cinnamon, accompanied by compote or caramel
