Stir frequently while it simmers — arborio rice releases starch as it cooks, and stirring often is what keeps the pudding creamy instead of sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Instructions:
- Combine: Combine the rice, plant milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and salt in a pot.
- Simmer: Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Cook Until Thickened: Cook for 25-30 minutes, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Finish: Remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Serve: Serve warm or chilled, dusted with ground cinnamon.
Notes: Cook custard-based mixtures over low, gentle heat and stir constantly to prevent curdling or scorching.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Refrigerate covered for up to 3-4 days.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
