i got the original recipe from AllRecipes, however, i have tweaked the daylights out of it to come up with my own (sweet and rich) version. i know that people say you should use medium grain or other rices to obtain the best flavor, but i use success brand "boil in bag" long grain white rice and it is just fine.

Ingredients:

3/4 c. uncooked rice

2 cups heavy cream; divided

1/2 c. white sugar

1/4 c. brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1/4 tsp. salt

2/3 c. raisins (optional)

1 tblsp. butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

In a medium saucepan bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 20-30 minutes til rice is tender.

Drain rice and return to saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, sugar & salt. Cook over medium heat til thick and creamy 20-30 minutes. While rice mixture is cooking, mix the beaten egg and last 1/2 cup of cream together. When the rice mixture is thick & pudding consistency, very gradually add the egg/cream mixture in a strea to hot rice mixture (note: you can temper the egg mixture by adding spoonfuls of the hot rice mixture to it first then adding it back into the saucepan). Add raisins & cook 2 minutes more,stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.

NOTE: for those of you who prefer a lighter or less sweet pudding, you can use milk or 2% milk instead of cream or a combo of both...you can also use 1/3 cup white sugar and no brown sugar; you can also eliminatethe butter. personally, i think the brown sugar adds a special flavor to the pudding.
