In a large pot, soak rice in water for 1/2 hour. Simmer, uncovered, until water is absorbed. Allow rice to sit off heat until the consistency of thick paste.

Add milk, cream, sugar and vanilla; stir to combine. Cook on medium heat until the consistency of creme anglaise (medium-thick custard sauce). Cover with plastic wrap while still warm to prevent a skin from forming on top. Refrigerate overnight.
