Old-fashioned comforting desserts like this one are making a comeback, not only in home kitchens but also in restaurants. Studded with plump short-grain rice and flavored with vanilla and cinnamon, this pudding will be out of your pressure cooker after fifteen minutes at low pressure.
SERVES 6 TO 8
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio or another short-grain rice
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS
- Coat the inside of the pressure cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Combine all the ingredients in the cooker, stirring to blend. Lock the lid in place. Cook at low pressure for 15 minutes.
- Quick release the pressure and remove the lid, tilting the pot away from you to avoid the escaping steam. Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl and serve warm. Alternatively, cool the pudding completely, refrigerate, and serve cold.
NOTE:
- This pudding cooks at low pressure to prevent it from scorching.
