Tips & Tricks (5)
- Cardamom Grinding Technique 🌿Freshly grind whole cardamom pods just before use to release their most intense, aromatic flavors and ensure maximum fragrance in your rice pudding.
- Rice Texture Mastery 🍚Choose short-grain rice like Arborio for a creamier, more luxurious pudding texture that absorbs liquid more effectively and creates a silkier consistency.
- Slow Simmer Secret 🔥Use a heavy-bottomed pot and maintain a gentle, low simmer to prevent scorching and ensure even, creamy heat distribution throughout the pudding.
- Milk Fat Balance 🥛Mix whole milk and heavy cream for the perfect balance of richness - aim for a 3:1 ratio to achieve optimal creaminess without being overly heavy.
- Cooling Technique ❄️Let the pudding cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating to prevent condensation and maintain a smooth, consistent texture.
