Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice, rinsed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk
- 2 1/2 cups rice milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (recommended: Sugar in the Raw)
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the rice, white sugar, almond milk, rice milk, cinnamon stick and nutmeg. Split the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from the pod and add both to the milk mixture. Put the saucepan over low heat and simmer the rice until it turns very soft and achieves a thick, pudding-like consistency, about 30 to 40 minutes. Be careful not to bring the rice to a full boil. Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean pod. Divide the mixture between 8 (7-ounce) ramekins and chill until cool.
Sprinkle some of the turbinado sugar over the top of each ramekin. Using a blowtorch, caramelize the pudding tops until they are golden brown. If you do not have a blowtorch, arrange the ramekins on a sheet pan and put under a broiler until the sugar has caramelized, about 1 to 2 minutes.

I followed the directions exactly and thought it was good but expected more, having watched the episode months earlier. I later watched the video and saw that Brian did not rinse the rice (he even explained that the starch would help thicken the pudding and he cooked the pudding on medium, not low, which explains why mine took longer to cook. Yummy!

I saw this show yesterday and jumped in the car to go find the ingredients. It was better than I thought it would be and I thought it would be heaven. Where has this show been? I didn't even know Brian had a show until a couple of weeks ago. On DirecTV (in Arizona it is on Sunday at FOUR in the morning. If it has always occupied that time slot it's no wonder Brian gave up the ship. How could anyone have an audience at that untimely hour?!? Luckily (or unluckily I couldn't sleep and channel surfed --- VOILA --- There he was! He's set on my DVR from now on. So much fun!!
