Ingredients
1 vanilla bean or 2 tsp vanilla
1 cup uncooked short-grain rice, preferably arborio
3 cups 3.25% milk
1 cup 35% cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sultana raisins, optional
lemon zest, from 1 lemon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F. Split vanilla bean in half and scrape out seeds. Stir rice with milk, cream, vanilla seeds or vanilla, sugar and raisins in an 8 × 8-in. baking or casserole dish.
Bake in centre of oven, stirring halfway through, until rice is tender, about 65 min. Remove rice pudding to a rack and stir in lemon zest. Let stand for 10 min. Mixture will look runny, but it will thicken as it stands. Serve warm or chill in refrigerator and serve cold.
