English Rice Pudding

I sincerely hope you would share the same passion as me!

In the United Kingdom, rice pudding is a dessert typically made with short-grained rice.

A specific type of rice is used for this pudding called “pudding rice”.

The rice is similar to Arborio rice (Risotto rice), its grain is round and short, and when cooked produces a creamier consistency.
