My Husband LOVES rice pudding.  I enjoy it..one of my boys does too..the other boy..not so much, but too bad, because today Daddy got his way. I had some left over rice in the 'fridge from dinner the other night, and we all know, that isn't going to get microwaved and eaten.

I've never searched for a recipe for rice pudding..I just kind of  altered my mother in laws recipe for banana pudding. Relax, there are no bananas in my rice pudding. There are however an abundance of raisins! And cinnamon!

I start off with 3 cups of milk and 1 cup of whipping cream. I pour that into a good size pot. I add about 3/4 cup of sugar, 6 tbls of cornstarch and 2 beaten egg yolks. (No whites), whisk this all together, and turn on the eye..medium high heat will do. I add about a teaspoon of vanilla, and cinnamon.  Put in as much as you like, or as little. We like cinnamon. Keep whisking the concoction. until it starts to bubble a little.  Pour in the raisins. As many or as few, or even none if thats how you like it. Then add your rice.

 I like it a little more custardy than ricey to be honest.  At this point, you'll want to switch to a spoon rather than a whisk, or your whisk will be full of rice and raisins.
 cook it only until it starts to thicken, and then remove it from the heat. It will continue to thicken up as it cools.

Pour it into whatever kind of container you like. I'm storing mine until my husband comes home, so its cooling in a cheapo reusable plastic container. If you're serving it to guests, you could portion it out in fancy dessert cups, or martini glasses (cute idea..check pinterest out for other ideas!).  Sprinkle a little bit more cinnamon over the top of the cooling pudding. Personally, I like it best warm. It just seems to taste better!
