Horchata Rice Pudding
- 1 cup Arborio rice, rinsed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk
- 2 1/2 cups rice milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (recommended: Sugar in the Raw)
- In a large saucepan, combine the rice, white sugar, almond milk, rice milk, cinnamon stick and nutmeg.
- Split the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from the pod and add both to the milk mixture.
- Put the saucepan over low heat and simmer the rice until it turns very soft and achieves a thick, pudding-like consistency, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Be careful not to bring the rice to a full boil.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean pod.
- Divide the mixture between 8 (7-ounce) ramekins and chill until cool.
- Sprinkle some of the turbinado sugar over the top of each ramekin.
- Using a blowtorch, caramelize the pudding tops until they are golden brown.
- If you do not have a blowtorch, arrange the ramekins on a sheet pan and put under a broiler until the sugar has caramelized, about 1 to 2 minutes.
