Ingredients

4 1/2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup long-grain white rice
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons whipping cream
4 ounces good-quality white chocolate (recommended: Lindt or Valrhona), chopped
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Warm Cherry Sauce, recipe follows
Whipped cream, for garnish, optional
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, for garnish

Directions

Combine first 5 ingredients in a heavy, large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and rice is very tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

Reduce heat to low. Whisk egg yolks and cream together in a small bowl. Gradually whisk 1/2 cup rice mixture into egg mixture; return mixture to the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly; do not let boil. Remove from the heat. Add white chocolate and stir until melted. Stir in the orange zest and cinnamon. Transfer pudding to a large bowl, cover, and chill until cold. Serve in bowls or large goblets with Warm Cherry Sauce, whipped cream, and toasted almonds on top, or layer in parfait glasses.

Warm Cherry Sauce:

1 cup cherry preserves

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 tablespoons kirsch (cherry brandy)

Bring preserves and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat, add the kirsch, and carefully ignite with a long match or just warm through.

a little tweeking needed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

this was an interesting diversion from the typical rustic rice pudding i usually make. the orange peel was quite lovely in... the pudding, but after adding the white chocolate, the pudding became too sweet. (however, i tasted the pudding right "before" adding the chocolate and loved it!) i would suggest halving the amount of white chocolate for a touch a flavor w/o the extra sweetness. obviously did not use the cherry preserves as that would definitely be overkill.Read more

Perfect and Versatile
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Makes the perfect serving of comforting rice pudding. I've also tried many variations. Add fresh expresso, chocolate... chips, and walnuts for a super decadent version. Or try almond extract, cinnamon, and organze zest for a refreshing snack. RICE PUDDING ROCKS MY WORLD!Read more

This was wonderful -- so flavorful. I used ghiradelli white chocolate chipes and it turned out fine. Don't skip on the... orange zest. That was the best part.Read more
