Though it takes a while to cook (I mean, you have to cook the rice, then add milk and have it absorb all the liquid and then become super soft), it’s a pretty easy dish to make. It’s mostly standing by the stove and stirring. You can probably do this while making something else in the kitchen. Like the main course for your dinner party, or even another dessert, like a cake. Because you can never have too much dessert.
