Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, milk, cream, sugar, salt, and cinnamon stick. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Cook Rice: Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring often, until rice is tender and mixture is thick and creamy, about 30-35 minutes.
