Creamy Rice Pudding Brûlée

Ingredients

1 cup Arborio rice (or other short-grain rice)
4 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for brûlée topping)
Directions

Cook the rice:

In a medium saucepan, combine rice, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer.
Simmer to creamy perfection:

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.
Add flavor:

Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly.
Prepare the brûlée topping:

Spoon the rice pudding into individual ramekins (or one large dish). Sprinkle a thin, even layer of granulated sugar over the top.
Caramelize the sugar:

Using a kitchen torch, carefully brûlée the sugar until it’s golden and crisp. (Alternatively, place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes.)
Serve and enjoy:

Let the topping cool and harden for a minute before digging into the creamy, caramelized goodness!
