Cinnamon Roll Rice Pudding

Who needs Cinnabon?

Combine over medium heat until simmering:
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 can evaporated milk
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Simmer until slightly thickened-should leave a thin layer on a spoon dipped in mixture.


In separate pot, bring to a simmer:
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2 cups water
2 1/2 cups 2% milk

Cook, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Add cinnamon mixture to rice, plus:
1 cup 2% milk

Cook until thickened. To test this, place a spoon with the pudding in the freezer, and see if it thickens to pudding consistency.

At this point, take the pudding off the heat, and cool briefly. Stir in:
1 cup sour cream

Serve rice pudding warm or refrigerated, with vanilla wafer cookies.
