You're all done when the rice is no longer firm and the mixture is very creamy. Remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla (scraped vanilla bean is excellent). Can also use nutmeg and cinnamon.

I've never tried making it that way but imagine it would be fine. Arborio rice absorbs just about any liquid that you cook it with. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out.

Do you have to use regular milk or can that be substituted with coconut milk a well?

Tyler, thanks for your question. Yes, this intended for uncooked Arborio rice as it has a high starch content, making the end result ultra creamy. I'm not sure that this method would work for leftover cooked rice. I would search out a conventional rice pudding recipe for that option.

I'm assuming you would use UNcooked rice in the beginning steps? (when you sauté in butter). And if you have left over white rice in the fridge,- how would you go about it this way?
