Creamy rice pudding is a comforting dessert of tender short-grain rice simmered slowly in milk (or a milk substitute) until thick and velvety, often sweetened with sugar and flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or citrus zest. It can be served warm or chilled, sometimes finished with a pat of butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a scattering of raisins or toasted nuts for texture. Simple, satisfying, and adaptable, rice pudding highlights the gentle, starchy richness of rice in a smooth, custard-like base.
