Ingredients

🍚 1/2 cup of jasmine rice, washed
💧 3 cups of water
🥛 6 cups of milk
🥫 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
🍬 1/4 cup of sugar
🌽 3 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch
🍦 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

1- Cook the Rice:

• Place the washed jasmine rice in a large pot and add 3 cups of water.
• Cook on high heat. Do not cover the pot to prevent foaming.
• Allow the water to evaporate completely. Once evaporated, lower the heat, cover the pot, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the rice is soft and mushy.

2- Prepare the Pudding Mixture:

• Turn the heat back to medium and add the can of sweetened condensed milk to the cooked rice. Stir to combine.
• Sprinkle in the sugar and mix well.

3- Thicken the Pudding:

• In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the milk until it’s smooth and no lumps remain.
• Gradually pour the milk mixture into the rice while stirring continuously.
• Continue stirring over medium-high heat until the pudding starts to thicken.

4- Flavor the Pudding:

• Once thickened, add the vanilla extract and stir thoroughly to incorporate.

5- Caramelize the Top:

• Transfer the rice pudding to oven-safe ramekins or a baking dish.
• Preheat the broiler and place the dishes under the broiler until the tops turn golden brown and caramelized.

6- Cool and Serve:

• Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the fridge.
• Once cold, garnish with pistachios or your favorite nuts before serving.
