Reviews
Did not use water. Put the rice into the milk pot. Cut the milk, butter, and sugar ingredients in half. Did not use orange zest or salt. Let it simmer. Stir often. Yummy!
Review:This recipe is delicious! The reviews saying that 2 quarts of milk is way too much are very wrong. 2 quarts of milk is 8 cups & that is NOT too much milk, especially since arborio rice tends to absorb more milk than other types of rice. The only thing that might need corrected about this recipe is the cooking time. It takes 30-40 minutes to thicken, just like most every stovetop rice pudding recipe. You can also skip cooking the rice in water first & cook the rice in the milk. Either way, this recipe is a keeper.
Just forget this recipe and try the rice pudding from Dave Lieberman on this site. Ingredients and cooking time on this recipe are completely wrong.
There are a couple of reviews that give “corrections” to this recipe. As suggested, I used 1 quart of milk and only 1/2 cup of sugar and left the rest the same, although it did take about 20 – 25 minutes to incorporate the milk. After that, I would say this was DELICIOUS! Even my husband who doesn’t like sweets very much loved it. As suggested, we also put cranberries on top. Yummm!
Without reading the reviews, I knew that was far too much milk. However, it is a good thing you all gave advice because it was very helpful.
I just made this and omitted the orange as I loved the flavor of the vanilla bean and cinnamon. Put it is custard cups and they are thickening right now.
Tastewise, it is really good. Just hoping they continue to get a bit thicker.
BTW, I simmered the rice/milk for about 15 minutes…it needed more time.
Havingseen the episode for this recipe I decided to give this a try. I’ve learned my leasson from past attempts at Tyler’s recipe and came by the site to read the reviews. There definitely is a major mix-up, but if you go by the revised recipe that some have posted you’ll be just fine. Just remember to resist the temptation to add more rice. The stated mixture is just fine and once you place this in the fridge after cooking it will thicken-up just fine.
I made this today and the flavor is excellent, Top with some whipped cream and a cherry and you’ve got a great, tasty treat.
Hey guys,
I just watched the show and wrote down the actual recipe after reading all the reviews and reading everyone that said the milk amount was wrong. Well it was WAY wrong so here is the actual recipe if you wanna give it another go or try it for the first time!
1 1/4 c Ari Rice
1 1/2 c Water
1 qt Whole Milk
1 Vanilla Bean
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2c Sugar
There was no mention of butter but the orange part of the recipe was correct so keep that the same. Enjoy!

Glad I took the time to read the reviews. I tried the rice pudding for a SB gathering today and it worked perfectly because of your comments!!!!
Adjust the milk or rice depending on your desired thickness. The added step is to let the pudding thicken on its own by setting it aside to cool before you serve or refrigerate, otherwise it will be too watery. I read all the posted reviews and the third time was the charm with the added step of letting it thicken on its own. I loved the vanilla bean and orange flavoring. It’s a nice variation to the traditional arroz con leche. The lower ratings are due to the incorrect recipe amounts, not for taste.
Either cut the milk in half, or double the rice,,, but all in all very good flavor.
