Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pint half and half divided
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins
  • Whipped cream optional for serving

Instructions

  • In a 6 quart Instant Pot, stir together rice, water, 2 tablespoons butter, and salt.
  • Close and lock the lid; be sure the pressure valve is pointing toward SEALING.
  • Cook on HIGH pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure by flipping the valve toward VENTING.
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in 1 1/2 cups half and half and sugar.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk remaining 1/2 cup half and half together with the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cinnamon.
  • Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer (use a rubber spatula to push it through easily) into Instant Pot.
  • Hit SAUTE on the Instant Pot and bring to a simmer, stirring almost constantly to avoid burning.
  • Once simmering, simmer for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the Instant Pot, remove the pot from the base, then stir in the raisins and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Pudding will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve warm or chilled from the fridge and top with whipped cream, if desired.
