Ingredients:

3 cups

Milk

1 tsp

Kosher Salt

1 cup

Heavy Cream

4 large

Egg Yolk

2 tbsps

Unsalted Butter

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F

2

Lightly grease six 6-ounce ramekins and place on a rimmed baking sheet

3

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

4

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

5

Remove from the heat and discard the vanilla bean

6

Add the heavy cream and granulated sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves

7

Cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks, butter, nutmeg, and cloves until the butter melts

8

Divide the pudding evenly between the prepared ramekins and bake for about 20 minutes, until slightly puffed but still soft in the center

9

Remove from the oven

10

Preheat the broiler or prepare a small kitchen torch

11

Sprinkle each pudding evenly with about 1 tablespoon of the natural cane sugar

12

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

13

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
