Over medium heat, bring milk, ¾ cup cream, sugar, butter, ½ t. vanilla, rice and raisins(optional) to a simmer, reduce heat.
Continue to simmer for approximately 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently so rice doesn't settle on the bottom and stick. At this point it should be creamy and thick.
Remove from heat and stir in the remainder of the cream and vanilla along with the nutmeg.
Grind extra fresh nutmeg on top prior to serving.
This can be served warm or chilled.
Notes
If you desire to warm up what you have chilled, place your desired amount in the microwave for 25-30 seconds. It should be perfect!
