This is comfort food at its sweetest and most gentle: a rice pudding cooked in a medium oven, watched carefully, and flavored with a touch of cinnamon. You can top it off with raisins or currants, some toasted pecans or a bit of brown sugar — or just leave it alone.

I used 1/3 cup Arborio rice and 1/3 cup sugar, and 3 cups whole milk plus 1 cup heavy cream. Threw in a cinnamon stick while cooking, and stirred in 1/2 tsp vanilla right when it came out of the oven.
I will make this again, and again, and again. It was delightful.

Used 1/3 cup sugar which is less than the recommended amount and it was too sweet. Next time use 1/4 cup.

Give this time. Yes, it's slow, but 1/4 c. of rice will absorb the milk and become a wonderful pudding. Right around the 2.5 hour mark it's a delicious pudding! Add some raisins, then top with toasted almonds.

Slice in half if too thick

3 hours cooking and still totally liquid. What a terrible disappointment.

Having read the other comments, I decided to jump start this by bringing the mixture to a boil first on the stovetop. Worked well, took about an hour and a bit to cook.
