Equipment
- Medium-sized Pot
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice Rinsed under cold water
- 2 cups Water
- ⅓ cup Sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream Whipped until stiff peaks form
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Banana Sliced
- ½ cup Strawberries Chopped
- 1½ cups Mini marshmallows
- ½ cup Pineapple tidbits Drained
- as needed Maraschino cherries For topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Rice - Rinse the arborio rice under cold water. In a medium-sized pot, combine the washed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the rice cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender and most of the water is absorbed.
- Step 2: Sweeten the Rice - Once the rice is fully cooked, stir in the sugar while it’s still warm. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Step 3: Add Cream and Vanilla - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Gradually fold this mixture into the sweetened rice, being careful not to overmix.
- Step 4: Incorporate the Fruits and Marshmallows - Add the sliced banana, chopped strawberries, mini marshmallows, and pineapple tidbits to the rice mixture. Gently fold them in, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy rice.
- Step 5: Chill and Serve - Transfer your glorified rice to a serving dish or individual bowls. Cover them with plastic wrap and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Top each dish with maraschino cherries before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream mixture. Always use fresh fruits for the best taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
