Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
• Cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)

How to Make Creamy Rice Pudding with Fresh Berries

1. In a large saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
5. To serve, spoon the rice pudding into bowls and top with fresh raspberries and chopped nuts. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• Stir the rice pudding frequently while cooking to prevent sticking.
• If the pudding becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
• For a richer flavor, try using half-and-half instead of whole milk.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the raspberries with other berries such as blueberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a tablespoon of lemon or orange zest for a citrusy twist.
• Mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version.

What to Serve With It

• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
• A dollop of whipped cream for added richness
• A side of crispy bacon for a savory contrast
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing accompaniment
