Step 1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in cooked rice, whole milk, condensed milk, cinnamon, and raisins.
Step 2
Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often, until rice absorbs liquid and looks creamy, 8–10 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl with vanilla. Remove skillet from heat.
Step 4
Slowly pour hot rice mixture into yolks while whisking constantly to temper, then pour yolk mixture back into skillet.
Step 5
Stir over medium heat for 2 minutes until thick and silky. The surface should look glossy.
