Best rice pudding recipe ever!!! My goal was to find a recipe that was as good as Kozy Shack (which is all natural & very delicious). This recipe, (with some adjustments I made) surpassed my goal! The 1st time I made it, I added one egg beaten with a little heavy cream at the same time as I added 4 cups of whole milk & I stirred in a pat of butter at the end too. I cooked it for about 30 minutes & I took it off the heat when it was still a little more liquidy than I thought it should be because the recipe warns not to overcook in big letters & I got scared LOL. It was very delish the 1st time, just not quite as thick as I like it, but it was still nice & pudding-y. The sweetness was perfect with 1/2 cup sugar too. The 2nd time I made it, I used 1 cup rice instead of 3/4 (so it took more water to cook the rice), I used mostly 2% milk with a little whole milk (cuz that's what I had on hand) & I used 2 eggs beaten with about 1/4 cup of heavy cream. I used 3/4 c sugar this time since I increased the rice & heavy cream. I also added the butter at the beginning when I was cooking the rice, instead of stirring it in at the end. Idk if that made a diff or not tho. Oh & I doubled the vanilla too. I also cooked it for longer by not starting to time the 30 min. until the milk & everything started simmering. Well it was absolute perfection the 2nd time! I do sprinkle cinnamon on the top. After it chills in the fridge, it is the most delicious--even better than Kozy Shack! I use medium grain white rice, called Calrose rice to make this. This is def my go to rice pudding recipe, along with the adjustments I made!
