Carolina Rice Pudding Brûlée Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease six 6-ounce ramekins and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk to a low simmer over medium heat with the rice, vanilla bean and reserved seeds, and salt. Raise the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and discard the vanilla bean. Add the heavy cream and granulated sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks, butter, nutmeg, and cloves until the butter melts.
• Divide the pudding evenly between the prepared ramekins and bake for about 20 minutes, until slightly puffed but still soft in the center. Remove from the oven.
• Preheat the broiler or prepare a small kitchen torch. Sprinkle each pudding evenly with about 1 tablespoon of the natural cane sugar.
• If using a broiler, place under the broiler in the upper third of the oven until the sugar caramelizes, rotating the baking sheet to evenly brown, 1 to 2 minutes. If using a kitchen torch, torch each pudding individually to caramelize the sugar, being careful to keep the torch at the distance recommended by the manufacturer. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease 6 (4 oz.) ramekins.
• In saucepan, combine milk and whipping cream. Cut vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape vanilla bean seeds into saucepan; add vanilla beans and salt. Bring to a low boil.
• In bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, cinnamon, rice, and 1/2 cup sugar.
• Remove vanilla beans from cream mixture. Slowly pour hot cream mixture in a thin stream into the egg/rice mixture, whisking constantly.
• Pour or ladle into prepared ramekins; place ramekins on a large baking sheet and place on oven rack; carefully pour enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until edges are set and centers are still slightly jiggly when shaken, approximately 25 minutes.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and place on rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Cover; chill at least 3 hours. When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator and sprinkle remaining sugar evenly over tops. Broil 5-6 inches from heat until sugar evenly melts and becomes a caramel color.
• Remove from oven and serve immediately. (Sugar may also be browned using a professional culinary torch.)

Steps:

• Combine uncooked rice, pudding mix, cream and eggs.
• Heat in a saucepan on medium heat until it comes to a boil.
• Remove from heat.
• Pour into an oven-proof casserole dish and chill completely.
• Sprinkle brown sugar all over the top.
• Place under the broiler and heat the topping until it melts and carmelizes.
• Remove from heat and chill again to harden the carmelized brown sugar.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Place milk, rice, and sugar in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Add a small amount of the rice mixture to the eggs to temper them. Pour mixture into the pot; add raisins and vanilla extract. Let cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes more. Add more milk if pudding gets too thick. Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
