Note

The pudding will appear somewhat loose when removed from the oven but will firm up as it cools.

For richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for some of the regular milk.

Ensure rice is cooked through before baking to achieve the proper texture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
