Enjoy this rich and indulgent Creamy Orange Cardamom Rice Pudding. It is a comforting dessert that carries the warmth of tradition with a bright, fresh twist from the orange zest. This dish is a perfect balance of deep, soulful flavor and light, aromatic notes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine rice, milk, cream, sugar, salt, and cardamom in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Continue to cook slowly, stirring often, for 45 to 60 minutes, until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to your liking.
  4. Stir in the orange zest, butter, and vanilla extract during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  5. Remove from heat. The pudding will thicken more as it cools.
  6. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla for the best flavor.
  • If the pudding becomes too thick upon cooling, stir in a splash of milk or cream to reach your desired consistency.
  • This pudding tastes even better the next day.
