Steps

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, mix together water, salt, Truvia, vanilla bean with seeds, and rice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, cover the saucepan and lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer for 55 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the raisins into the mixture and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the rice reaches a tender consistency, which should take around 15 minutes.

3. 3

   After letting the rice mixture cool for approximately 10 minutes, transfer it to a medium bowl and remove the vanilla pod. Mix in the yogurt, milk, and cinnamon until well combined. If needed, adjust the thickness by adding some water. Serve the dish while still warm.
