Ingredients

  • 200 g round-grain rice
  • 500 g water
  • 800 g whole milk
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • The peel of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Ground cinnamon for dusting

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Put the rice, the water, the cinnamon stick and the lemon peel in the mixing bowl and cook 15 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed.
  2. Add the milk and the sugar and set 25 min/90°C/reverse/spoon speed without the measuring cup so it evaporates and thickens.
  3. Check the doneness of the rice; if you want it softer cook 5 min more/90°C/reverse/spoon speed.
  4. Add the vanilla essence and mix 20 sec/reverse/spoon speed.
  5. Remove the cinnamon stick and the lemon peel.
  6. Distribute into glasses or bowls; it will thicken more as it cools.
  7. Dust ground cinnamon on top and serve warm or cold.

Tips

  • If you prefer it creamier, add a splash of milk when serving.
  • A pinch of lemon zest reinforces the citrus aroma.
  • Keep it covered in the fridge up to 3 days.
