This is like the rice pudding my mother used to make many years ago.
I'd rather have Ina's rum raisin rice pudding than ice cream.

After reading the reviews, I really did not know whether to add the extra half and half at the end, add 2 eggs, etc...But, as my husband reminded me, when ever I am making a recipe for the first time, one should follow it to a tee-I even set my clock on my microwave-I made this recipe in EXACTLY the time it called for, I followed it step by step (except, I did double the amount of raisins/rum-nummy! and it came out awesome! I think what might have been a problem for most people who thought it was too soupy is, when you are cooking (simmering the rice for the 35 minutes, set your electric stove knob to 4 1/2, you have to stay with it pretty much of the time stirring it, but it came out perfect, if I would not have added the last cup of half and half it would have been too thick! The rice was nice and soft-I did spend the extra money and paid $ 3.10 for the small bag of rice, but you only use 3/4 of a cup so it goes a long.. way! This is an awesome treat, everyone should not be afraid to make this recipe!

Very easy recipe - I did use two large eggs in place of one xtra large egg. Creamy and yummy - warm or cold!

Even with my electric range top, this recipe was fantastic! I expected to spend time on it & it's well worth it. I just wish everyone would realize that Ina Garten is not Rachel Ray. If you want recipes in 30 minutes, use the latter lady. Ina's recipes take time & effort and the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. I love Rachel Ray too but let's not confuse the two when we rate recipes.

I read all reviews before starting. Here is what I did:

1. I used cubed coconut gel (international market instead of raisins.

2. Once I added the half and half, I cooked it a bit longer than what the recipe called for because it just looked like it needed it. I made certain to stir often toward the end.

3. I only added about 1/3ish cup of extra half and half at the end. That was plenty.

My husband and I both loved it and I plan to make it for company.

Despite the fact you don't need the last cup of half and half, this is a wonderful recipe. I never like rice pudding before, but this has changed my mind.

I'm glad I read all the reviews before I made this dish. I cut my liquid down to 3 cups, and it turned out real good, wasn't soupy at all. Nice flavor. Will surely make again, and will experiment with different flavorings for the raisins - like flavored brandy or Grand Marnier. Thanks Ina!!

Have all her books, use them frequently and have never had a failure until this recipe. Basmati is not the right type of rice, waaaaay too much liquid (5 cups for 3/4 cup rice?.

Hate trashing an Ina Garten recipe, but this one's really bad.

The taste was ok, but too much liquid for so little rice. I had to add more rice and still cook it down some. The best rice pudding I ever tasted was from a diner in Albany, NY many years ago called the Dixie Diner. Very creamy and not overly sweet. I have tried many rice pudding recipes but yet to find one that tastes just like the Dixie Diner's recipe.

This recipe is simply to die for! I used arborio rice since that's what I had in my pantry, omitted the rum, and added just a little cinnamon at the end. It did take a little longer to cook, but I owe that to using an electric stove and having to be super careful with the temperature setting so it wouldn't scorch. Even my teenager who turned up her nose when she asked what I was making, ended up eating a large serving of this creamy delight and gave it two-thumbs-up. Thanks Ina -you're the best!
