Rice Pudding is a creamy, comforting dessert made by simmering rice in milk and sugar until thick and velvety. Lightly sweetened and often flavored with vanilla or cinnamon, it can be served warm or cold for a nostalgic treat everyone loves.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (short or medium grain preferred)
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1–2 eggs (for custard-style texture)
  • Optional garnishes: ground cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, butter, sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine cooked rice, milk, sugar, and salt.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring often, until thickened to desired consistency.
  4. (Optional custard-style) In a small bowl, beat eggs. Slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of hot rice mixture to temper, then stir into the saucepan. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with cinnamon or your preferred toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Use leftover rice for a quicker version.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a tablespoon of butter before serving.
  • Pudding thickens as it cools—add milk when reheating to loosen.
