Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 6 (4-ounce) ramekins and set them aside.
- 2
Combine the cream and milk in a large pot. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the saucepan; add the vanilla beans and salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
- 3
Whisk the rice, eggs, egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl until well combined.
- 4
Remove the vanilla beans from the cream mixture. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture in a thin stream into the egg-rice mixture, whisking constantly to keep the eggs from cooking. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins. Set the ramekins on a large baking sheet and place it in the oven; carefully pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- 5
Bake until the edges are set and the centers are still jiggly, about 25 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and set them on a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes. Cover the ramekins and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- 6
When ready to serve, set the oven broiler to high. Take the ramekins from the refrigerator and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sugar evenly over the tops. Place them 5 to 6 inches under the broiler and cook until the sugar melts evenly and turns caramel colored. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
