Ingredients


• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup raw medium-grain white rice
• Pinch salt
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. 1936. Torrefacto Cubano Silver Instant Coffee
• 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish
• 4 chocolate wafers or other crisp cookies, for garnish


Directions

• Step 1

Combine the rice, milk, and salt in a large, deep saucepan. Over high heat, while stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and continue simmering the pudding, stirring frequently, for another 8 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the volume has decreased to about 3-1/2 cups. Keep in mind that the pudding shouldn't boil, but should gently simmer, and that constant stirring near the end of cooking is necessary to prevent scorching.

• Step 2
Combine the egg yolks, sugar, 1936 Torrefacto Cubano Silver Instant Coffee , and vanilla in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the rice mixture in increments, whisking constantly.

• Step 3

Return the contents of the bowl to the saucepan and scrape the sides if necessary. As the mixture thickens, it will coat the back of a spoon, so keep stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until the mixture reaches this point, which should take about 1 minute.

• Step 4
Take the skillet off the stove. When serving the pudding, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface to keep a skin from forming.

• Step 5
As a garnish, top each serving with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a chocolate wafer, and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
