Creamy flavored rice pudding: the perfect recipe + 4 irresistible variations
A comforting dessert par excellence, rice pudding is a timeless favorite. Thanks to flavored sugar, it becomes even more indulgent, without the need for added liquid flavoring or unnecessary ingredients. Here's the method for an ultra-creamy rice pudding, perfectly seasoned.
Why use flavored sugar in rice pudding?
Rice pudding is a smooth, milky base, ideal for bringing out the flavors. Flavored sugar allows:
- a consistent taste, without over-tasting
- a gradual diffusion of the fragrance
- a simpler recipe (sugar + flavour in one step)
Ingredients (serves 4-6)
- 1 liter of whole milk (essential for creaminess)
- 100g of special round dessert rice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of flavored sugar
The step-by-step recipe (creamy for sure)
- Pour the milk into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring gently to a simmer (do not boil vigorously).
- Add the short-grain rice and mix.
- Cook for 30 to 35 minutes over low heat , stirring regularly.
- When the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, turn off the heat.
- Add the flavored sugar at the end of cooking , mix thoroughly.
- Taste and adjust if necessary.
The right dosage
• Mild and balanced taste: 2 tablespoons
• Extra indulgent version: 3 tablespoons
Rice pudding thickens as it cools, and the aroma also develops as it rests.
