Instructions

1. Optional: Rinse the rice grains by plunging them into boiling water for 3 minutes (use a kettle to save time).
2. Split the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife.
3. Put the rice, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla pod, and seeds (or a cinnamon stick), and vanilla sugar in the bowl of the robot.
4. Option: If desired, add zest from the citrus fruit of your choice or vary by adding candied fruits or rum-soaked raisins, or even crushed pistachios, or for the classic chocolate version, cocoa powder!
5. Attach the flexible beater. Set the temperature to 105°C and the speed to mix 3.
6. When the mixture reaches 105°C, reduce to 100°C and set to mix 3 for 40 minutes.
7. Cook the rice until it is level with the milk.
Taste and adjust if necessary (if it is too thick, add milk; if the rice is not cooked, extend the cooking time; if it lacks sugar, etc.).
8. Let it cool. The rice will continue to absorb the milk as it cools.
9. Serve this dessert warm or cold. Store it in the refrigerator in individual ramekins or in a large pot. Don't hesitate to add a splash of milk when serving to adjust the consistency after cooling.

Notes & Suggestions

The liquid cream can be replaced with butter or, for a lighter but less creamy version, with milk.
Feel free to use a plant-based milk, such as almond milk.
