Creamy Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding is a classic, comforting dessert featuring tender rice simmered in sweet, creamy milk with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. It’s simple to make, deliciously rich, and perfect for a cozy dessert any time of the year!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (100g) uncooked white rice (medium or long grain)
  • 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) half-and-half (or heavy cream for extra creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (80g) raisins (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Rice:

    • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  • Add Milk Mixture:

    • Add the whole milk, half-and-half, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.

  • Simmer the Pudding:

    • Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes creamy. Be sure to stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

  • Add Flavorings:

    • Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (if using).
    • Add the raisins and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.

  • Serve:

    • Spoon the warm rice pudding into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
    • Serve warm or chilled, as desired.

Notes

  • Make it vegan: Use coconut milk or almond milk instead of whole milk and half-and-half.
  • Add toppings: Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed.
