Heat 6 cups of milk in a pot for about 5 to 10 minutes until it's almost boiling.

Add 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the milk; stir to combine.

Add 1 cup white rice to the mixture; heat to medium and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, lower the heat to simmer and cover the pot; let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Cook until the mixture is thick and creamy; then remove from heat and let cool for about 15 minutes.

Add 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks to the cooled mixture; mix well.

Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; mix until combined.

If desired, add 1/2 cup raisins and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Once thickened, let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to serving dishes.

Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and chopped walnuts if desired.
