How is arborio rice different from regular rice?
Arborio rice has a high content of amylopectin starch. When cooked, this rice releases its natural starch, producing a creamier, more luxurious texture that is denser and chewier than regular rice varieties like long-grain basmati rice or jasmine rice.
What goes well with rice pudding?
There are many ways to enhance the flavor of rice pudding, adding cranberry is just one of them. Another widely favored method is to garnish berries, bananas, or diced apples. You can also include a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on the surface. If you prefer a more savory flavor, you can consider topping the rice pudding with a spoonful of chutney or savory preserves.
