3-Ingredient Rice Pudding is a creamy and comforting dessert made with just cooked rice, milk, and sugar. It’s quick, budget-friendly, and easy to customize with your favorite flavors or toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine cooked rice and milk.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 20–25 minutes until thick and creamy.
  3. Stir in sugar and continue cooking for another 5–10 minutes until the pudding reaches desired thickness.
  4. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly before serving warm, or chill in the refrigerator for a cold version.

Notes

  • Use short or medium-grain rice for a creamier texture.
  • Adjust sugar to taste or substitute with honey or maple syrup.
  • Add cinnamon, vanilla, or citrus zest for extra flavor.
  • Stir frequently to avoid sticking or burning.
  • Can be made dairy-free using plant-based milk alternatives.
