Lara’s Rice Pudding

Make a cornstarch slurry: Place cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly mix in 1/4 cup of the milk. Set aside.
In a medium pot, bring the rice and water to a boil. Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the rest of the milk, along with the can of Nestle cream, to a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just barely reaches a simmer.
Add the cooked rice to the pot of milk. Cook, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes.
Add the sugar, stir until dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until desired consistency is reached.
Add orange blossom water and mix well.
Serve with crushed pistachios or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
