Ingredients
- 1 quart strawberries, rinsed and hulled
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 lemon, zest finely grated and juiced
- 1 quart milk
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- Pinch kosher salt
Directions
Cut strawberries into medium-size dice. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until berries are soft and the juices have thickened slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it starts to steam. Remove one cup of milk, set it aside, and keep it warm. Stir into the larger pan of milk the remaining sugar, the vanilla bean and seeds, and the rice. Lower heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Add the reserved milk, lemon zest, butter, and salt. Stir well and remove from the heat. This should have a more liquid consistency than regular risotto.
To serve, layer rice pudding and strawberry mixture in tall clear glasses. Chill.

Tyler's risotto-style rice pudding worked perfectly. I did cover the pan for the first 15 mins of cooking as this is how I always make rice pudding. I used the same amount of aborio rice and whole milk as the recipe stated and it cooked to perfection. I did not have any strawberries on hand so I cannot rate that part of the recipe. Enjoy!

Don't follow the recipe, follow your common sense. After about an hour of trying to cook it as the recipe says, it was still watery (slightly thickened, but watery, and the rice was still hard and uncooked. My friend helped me out and pushed me out of the kitchen. He covered the pot and we stirred about every 10 minutes, with the pot on low heat. After 2 more hours, it was finally done. Tasted great! But man was it a lot of work. There HAVE to be better recipes out there. However the strawberry sauce included with this recipe is super delicious over ice cream (it's like home made, healthier strawberry syrup!

This is the worst recipe I have ever had to follow.
It took me three hours to make and all I ended up with was rice soup.
It was watery, there was too much milk, and 40 minutes to make was far from the truth of the matter.
I will NEVER EVER make rice pudding again after this experience.
