Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 5 cups milk
  • ½ cup granulated sweetener (use regular sugar or a substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Coat the crockpot with nonstick spray.
  • Add all ingredients except whipping cream to a slow cooker and stir together. If using raisins, add them here.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2 hours. Stir the rice and continue to cook, until rice is tender and all milk is absorbed (about 2 to 3 more hours). (Note: stir every so often to keep the rice from sticking to the side of the crockpot; if you used long grain rice, increase cooking time)
  • Transfer to a bowl, cool then refrigerate until chilled.
  • In a medium sized bowl mix the whipping cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in the whipping cream just before serving.
  • Serve topped with butter, cinnamon, and sugar - or cherry sauce.

  • VARIATIONS: Add raisins or dried cranberries; sweeten with maple syrup or honey; add a little rum after cooking. Short-grain, sushi, or pudding rice can be substituted.
  • TOP TIPS: Be sure to stir every so often (every hour or hour and half). Some crackpots run hot.
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve warm or cold; top with butter, cinnamon sugar, and a drizzle of cream; cherry sauce is fantastic on top too.
