Easy Slow Cooker Rice Pudding (Brazilian-Style)

Directions

1. 1
   First, mix arborio rice, salt, milk, and either water or coconut milk.
2. 2
   Add one cinnamon stick if desired. Cook in the slow cooker for about 2 hours or until rice is fully cooked.
3. 3
   Then, stir in sugars, cinnamon, sweetened condensed milk, warmed heavy cream, and vanilla until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.
4. 4
   Cook for an additional 15-30 minutes.
5. 5
   Remove cinnamon stick, add raisins if desired, and serve warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon. I prefer mine without raisins; otherwise it adds extra sweetness.
6. 6
   Alternatively, let it cool, cover, and refrigerate until chilled.
7. 7
   Serve and enjoy topped with a dash of cinnamon.
