Really Creamy Rice Pudding

Directions

1. 1
   Place the milk, 3/4 cup cream, sugar, rice, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
2. 2
   Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 30 to 40 minutes, until thickened.
3. 3
   This is very similar to cooking risotto.
4. 4
   Test the rice to ensure it's done.
5. 5
   You want a firm but tender bite, but no crunchy center to the rice.
6. 6
   Remove the pudding from the heat, and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cream and the second vanilla extract, along with a pinch of sea salt.
7. 7
   Serve warm; or refrigerate, well covered, and serve chilled.
8. 8
   Sprinkle with a touch of ground cinnamon, if desired.
