Creamy, perfectly sweet (but not too), vanilla-ey, silky – this pudding is outrageously delicious. While not a huge rice pudding fan myself, I could eat this all day…oh wait, I have been. It is definitely the best rice pudding recipe I’ve ever tasted. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make it perfectly chocolate.

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup Arborio rice, rinsed
6 cups whole milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped (as we all know, vanilla beans are pricey so if you don’t want to splurge, you can substitute 1-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract)
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, milk, vanilla bean and seeds, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until rice is tender and liquid has absorbed, about 40-45 minutes.
Remove vanilla bean; stir in heavy cream. Rice pudding may be served warm, at room temperature or chilled (personally I prefer it slightly warmed).

Oh, goodness! This entire menu is to die for! Macadamia-crusted chicken…it has never occurred to me. It sounds (and looks!!) amazing!! Thanks for sharing such great photos, too!
The picture of the rice pudding looks so good I can almost taste it! To turn it into perfectly chocolate the easiest way would be after it’s done and the cream is stirred in, while it’s still hot, put finely chopped up semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate in it, maybe 3 oz? The comment you left on my blog about the pictures made my husbands day (he’s the photographer) I’m very lucky to have his help, or my pictures wouldn’t be nearly as good
Sounds wonderful! I will be on look out for the arborio rice–so I can make it.
