Ingredients
- ¾ cup uncooked white rice (short-grain or Arborio)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1½ cups of water to boil, then add rice. Cover and simmer for about 10–12 minutes until tender. Drain and cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, optional spices, and salt. Whisk in lightly beaten eggs until well mixed.
- Spread the cooked rice evenly in the baking dish; if using raisins, sprinkle over the rice. Pour the custard mixture on top and stir gently to combine.
- Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 45–55 minutes until golden brown with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving warm or refrigerate for firmer texture.
