Preparation
Preparing the Rice Pudding
Rinse the rice
Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine dairy and vanilla
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean (along with the seeds).
Simmer the mixture
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
⚠ Important: Stir the rice pudding frequently to prevent sticking and burning. 💡 Pro Tip: Leave the vanilla bean pod in the mixture for maximum flavor extraction.

In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Dress the berries
Drizzle with honey and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly.

Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
