Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup arborio rice, 4 cups whole milk, and 0.5 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to low.

  2. Step 2

    Simmer the rice mixture, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency, about 25-30 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and remove from heat. Let the pudding cool slightly, about 5 minutes, until it is warm but not hot.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the warm rice pudding into serving bowls or glasses, dividing equally among 4 servings.

  5. Step 5

    Top each serving with 0.25 cup ricotta cheese, 0.25 cup cherries, 0.25 cup mixed berries, and 2 tablespoons raspberry sauce. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a cooler dessert.
