Description

This Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding is rich, creamy, and made with simple pantry ingredients. Slow-cooked for the perfect texture, it’s infused with vanilla and cinnamon for a comforting, nostalgic dessert. Serve it warm or chilled for the ultimate homemade treat!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Rice Pudding

  • 6 cups whole milk, divided
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup long-grain white rice (slightly heaping)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Milk & Sugar

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 5½ cups milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Add the Rice & Simmer

  1. Stir in the rice, then immediately reduce heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 50-60 minutes until the mixture thickens to the consistency of yogurt.

Step 3: Add Vanilla & Cool

  1. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before refrigerating.

Step 4: Final Touches & Serving

  1. Before serving, stir in the remaining ½ cup of milk to loosen the texture.
  2. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra richness, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for part of the milk.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
  • To add texture, mix in raisins, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add a splash of milk when reheating.

 

  • Freeze in single portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
