Slow Cooker Rice Pudding is a creamy, cozy dessert made with rice, milk, sugar, and warming spices, all slow-cooked to perfection. It’s an easy, hands-off treat perfect for dessert or breakfast, served warm or chilled.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or more milk for lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup raisins, 1 tablespoon butter, pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Grease the inside of the slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Combine rice, milk, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and optional raisins in the slow cooker. Stir well.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, stirring once or twice if possible.
  4. Once rice is tender and the pudding is creamy, stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as desired.
  6. Serve warm or chilled. Top with cinnamon, fruit, or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Use coconut or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • To thicken, cook uncovered at the end or stir in a cornstarch slurry.
  • Rice pudding thickens as it cools—add milk to loosen when reheating.
  • Serve with toppings like fruit, nuts, or caramel sauce for extra flavor.
