White Chocolate And Vanilla Rice Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
3 1/2 oz white chocolate, broken
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
3 None medium eggs
1/3 cup, plus 5 tsp sugar
3/4 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
None None Heavy cream or ice cream, to serve (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Place four 1-cup (8-oz) ovenproof ramekins in a large roasting pan.
Combine milk and half-and-half in a medium saucepan. Watching closely, bring to a boil on high, then immediately remove from the heat (known as 'scalding'). Stir in chocolate and vanilla. Allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, whisk the milk mixture, eggs and sugar until well combined. Stir in rice and raisins.
Divide mixture evenly between prepared ramekins. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the outsides of the ramekins. Bake 30-35 mins. Serve puddings warm with heavy cream or ice cream, if desired.
