🍽 Recipe: Cinnamon Rice Pudding

Cinnamon Rice Pudding

Creamy, comforting, and simple β€” this pudding proves that milk, rice, and patience can fix almost anything.

πŸ“ Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked white rice (day-old works great)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: raisins, toasted almonds, or a splash of dark rum

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

  1. Warm milk, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over medium-low heat β€” do not boil.
  2. Stir in the cooked rice; simmer gently for ~10 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Temper the beaten egg with a little hot milk, then whisk it back into the pot.
  4. Cook, stirring, until thick and creamy (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
  5. Serve warm for comfort or chilled for clarity. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Enjoy!

πŸ“ Journal Prompt

Who needs to feel my love today β€” not tomorrow, not eventually, but before bedtime?

πŸ’‘ The Code / Life Hack

Ask before any task: β€œWhat would this look like if love were the motive?” Change the motive, change the motion.
