Kozy Shack Rice Pudding

"Once deliveryman Vinnie Gruppuso tasted the pudding being made at one of the delis in Brooklyn that he delivered bread to back in the 1960s, he was hooked. He eventually struck up a deal with that deli -- called Cozy Shack -- to sell the pudding to other customers on his route, and the product soon outsold his other delivery items. Eventually Vinnie scrapped up enough money to purchase the deli's pudding operation, he changed the "C" in the name to a "K," and today Kozy Shack is the number one manufacturer of rice pudding in North America. Just as in the original secret formula, six basic ingredients are all that go into this clone of the company's top-seller. But you'll also need a cooking thermometer and a large pot with at least a 10-inch diameter. A pot this wide helps the mixture to reduce faster, and the milk won't be so deep as to obscure the readings on mercury thermometers. Keep your eye on the temperature and be sure to stir the pudding often. When the mixture begins to thicken, pop the pudding into your fridge for several hours where it will continue to thicken to the creamy consistency of the real thing as it cools.
