A creamy and delightful rice pudding enhanced with a hint of cinnamon and a touch of cream.
Combine the cooked rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Ensure the rice is evenly coated with the milk mixture before heating.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 30 minutes.
Stirring frequently prevents the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding vanilla off the heat preserves its delicate flavor.
Spoon the pudding into individual serving dishes and serve warm or chilled.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant touch.
