Ingredients

1 ½ cups cooked white rice

1 egg, beaten

½ cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch ground nutmeg

⅓ cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup golden raisins

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cooked rice, milk, heavy cream, and salt. Stir occasionally and heat until warm.

  3. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  4. Cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened and creamy. Do not boil.
