Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
2. Cook rice according to package directions until very tender. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
4. Pour the milk mixture over the rice, gently stirring to combine.
5. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top.
6. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon into a thin glaze.
7. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bake.
8. Let cool slightly before slicing — it will stay soft and creamy inside.
