Making Copycat Kozy Shack Rice Pudding is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
2. Add Milk: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the whole milk, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
3. Simmer: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
4. Incorporate Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add a small amount of the warm rice mixture to the eggs to temper them. Stir well to combine.
5. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the rice pudding, stirring constantly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and slightly thickened.
6. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Cool: Let the rice pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
8. Serve: Spoon the pudding into bowls or individual cups. Garnish with cinnamon, raisins, or your favorite toppings if desired.

This straightforward process will lead you to a delicious bowl of Copycat Kozy Shack Rice Pudding that you can enjoy at any time.
