Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick saucepan, add milk, sugar, cinnamon powder and cook on medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil. 
  • Add rice and reduce the heat to "Low" so that it continues to cook at a gentle simmer. Don't cover with lid.
  • Stir often and cook for about 50 minutes- 1 hour or until mixture is thickened to a "yogurt-like" consistency.
  • Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
  • Let it cool at room temperature, which will thicken it up even more.
  • Then, chill in fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight until it's nice and cold. This will also make the pudding thicker. 
  • Optional: Prior to serving, mix in ½ cup cold milk to make it slightly thinner and creamier, if you like. 
  • Sprinkle with more cinnamon powder and enjoy!
