In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally during this process.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool for a few minutes.
Gently transfer the rice pudding into serving bowls or ramekins.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of each serving for added flavor and garnish.
Serve the Kozy Shack Rice Pudding warm or chilled, based on your preference.
