Ingredients
2 cups cooked rice
4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine cooked rice and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Cook for 15-20 minutes until rice softens and milk thickens slightly.
Whisk eggs in a small bowl. Temper by drizzling in a small amount of hot rice mixture, then return to saucepan.
Stir in sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until thick and creamy.
Remove from heat before boiling to prevent curdling. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use day-old rice for best texture. For a lighter version, substitute 2% or plant-based milk. Adjust sweetness to taste. Serve warm, optionally dusted with cinnamon.
