This version calls for short-grain rice, which turns plump and pleasingly sticky as it cooks in a combination of milk and heavy cream. Adding a vanilla bean lends deeply aromatic notes, but if you don’t have one, just stir 1 tablespoon vanilla extract into the pudding along with the egg yolks. Or skip the vanilla and add a teaspoon of whole cardamom pods to the pot to round out the spicy flavor of the cinnamon. Whipped cream might be overkill on a pudding this rich, but only in the very best way.","servings":4,"servings_text":"4 to 6 servings","total_time":"PT30M","ingredients":[{"text":"¾ cup arborio or other short-grain rice","item":"arborio or other short-grain rice","quantity":0.75,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"2 ½ cups whole milk","item":"whole milk","quantity":2.5,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"⅓ cup granulated sugar","item":"granulated sugar","quantity":0.3333333333333333,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick","item":"(2-inch) cinnamon stick","quantity":1},{"text":"1 (4-inch) strip orange or lemon zest, peeled with a vegetable peeler (optional)","item":"(4-inch) strip orange or lemon zest, peeled with a vegetable peeler","quantity":1,"preparation":"optional"},{"text":"½ vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped with the tip of a paring knife, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract","item":"vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped with the tip of a paring knife, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract","quantity":0.5},{"text":"Large pinch of fine sea salt","item":"Large pinch of fine sea salt"},{"text":"½ cup heavy cream","item":"heavy cream","quantity":0.5,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"2 egg yolks","item":"egg yolks","quantity":2},{"text":"½ cup raisins (optional)","item":"raisins","quantity":0.5,"unit":"cup","preparation":"optional"},{"text":"Ground cinnamon or cardamom, for serving (optional)","item":"Ground cinnamon or cardamom, for serving","preparation":"optional"},{"text":"Whipped cream, for serving (optional)","item":"Whipped cream, for serving","preparation":"optional"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"In the pressure cooker pot, stir together the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, orange zest (if using), vanilla bean and seeds, and salt."},{"number":2,"text":"Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
