I just love this pudding! I would much rather have a big bowl of this than a piece of cake or bowl of ice cream. If you are in the same boat as me then you really must make this recipe. You will be absolutely thrilled with the flavor and texture from this easy recipe. Preparing it right in your own kitchen gives you peace of mind over the ingredients and a chance to enjoy it both warm and cold.
How do you make Rice Pudding
This easy yet amazingly delicious recipe starts with cooked rice. The rice is then combined with milk and cooked on the stove top until thick and creamy. In the final steps a tempered egg, sugar, butter and vanilla extract are added. The mixture is cooked just a couple more minutes and then you can add whatever you like or spoon into individual dishes so everyone can adjust their add ins to their liking. Please be sure to read the helpful hints on tempering eggs.
Delicious add ins for Rice Pudding!
cinnamon and/or nutmeg
raisins or dried cranberries
chocolate chips
whipped cream
chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans
honey or brown sugar
butter
How to temper an egg!
You really don’t want to add an egg to a hot mixture without tempering it unless of course you are after that kind of effect like in egg drop soup. But in this case we want the egg to fully incorporate into the mixture like in a pudding or a custard. In a separate bowl beat your egg. Now simply add 1-2 tablespoons of the hot liquid whisking constantly. Once whisked in, repeat again thoroughly whisking after each addition. If the bowl is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand you will probably begin to feel it warm. Once the egg mixture has begun to warm you can slowly whisk it into the warm pot without worrying that you will end up with a scrambled mess.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
Use medium or short grain white rice. Do not use long grain rice.
Use 2% or whole milk. Skim does not have enough fat.
Cook over medium low heat stirring constantly. You don’t want this to burn to the bottom of the pot.
Make sure you temper the egg so that you do not end up with curdled or scrambled eggs.
Add the ingredients in the order they are written in the final steps.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for several days.
If the pudding becomes too thick for your liking add a couple of tablespoons of milk at a time until desired thickness.
Add raisins, cinnamon,or nutmegto suit your taste.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
This amazing dessert is so delectable, easy and dependable. What are you waiting for? Put the ingredients for this treat on your shopping list today. Your loved ones will be singing your praises.

Yes you can use leftover rice. Take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes prior to starting the recipe to bring it to room temperature. Then put it in a pot and start with step #2.

I am a super-huge fan of rice pudding, from the time my mum used to make it from dinner leftovers. I do not use eggs, but do enjoy making it with evaporated milk, brown sugar and/or a little caramel sauce. I also use nutmeg. Be sure to cook the rice very thoroughly before adding the milk.

I love this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was nice and thick. I wonder if those who are getting runny pudding are cooking it long enough and on a low enough temperature. Mine set up perfectly in the refrigerator, but we found that we like it best reheated in the microwave until it is just warm and then sprinkled with cinnamon. Wonderful!

You are adding a little bit of the rice milk mixture at a time to temper the egg. If you added the egg without warming it slowly it would end up as scrambled eggs.

This is a great recipe & it’s exactly like one of my go to rice pudding recipes! I either make it like this, or I have another recipe where I cook the rice in the milk and add heavy cream. Both versions are great. And you’re absolutely right about using short or medium grained rice-it makes it so creamy! I actually like to use a combination of Arborio (short grained risotto rice) and medium grained rice. Sometimes I use some evaporated milk too, which is delish. I loveeee rice pudding lol & I make it a lot, so I have a few different variations on it.

Hello Beth. I used short grain rice, and whole milk. It did thicken a bit in the fridge, but still very runny. I love the taste. I will definitely try again. Maybe I need to let it thicken more once I add the milk?
Reply
Beth Pierce
Hey Raymond! Yes cook it until it is thick and creamy. It may take a couple of minutes longer depending on how high your heat is. Don’t want it too high or it might burn. Make sure you are stirring a lot. Oh one more thing don’t rinse your rice. I know some people do before making rice for stir fry but you want the starch there so don’t rinse it.

Rice pudding has been my dessert comfort food since childhood. My family makes it like you do except we thicken ours with cornstarch and water. I can’t tell you how much because our recipe isn’t written down, plus we make a huge amount when we do! The closest to ours that’s available commercially is made by Señor Rico. That’s for when I need a rice pudding fix NOW! 😉

My mom use to add raisins to her pudding. I will try your recipe. It sounds so good
For the same reason you wouldn't normally make risotto with basmati or jasmine or brown rice, you wouldn't normally make rice pudding with it. Calrose, a short/medium grain rice, works well with this recipe because it gets soft and sticky when cooked.
Rice pudding is a creamy mixture of rice and milk that is cooked until it's thick and soft. It can be sweet or savory. This raisin-studded dessert rice pudding is thickened with an egg, sweetened with sugar, and enhanced with vanilla.
However, you can add, if, if your rice pudding di or vanilla pudding didn't thicken it is not only because of the kind of milk you used, you generally you need to use some kind of a starch, either arrow root or corn starch.
As a result, the rice in the pudding can become firm and hard when it cools down. It's a natural process that occurs with certain types of rice. To prevent this, you can try adding a bit more liquid or cream to the rice pudding before refrigerating it.
While we've mentioned before that this dessert gets its perfectly creamy texture from the starch that is released when the grains are cooking, we do suggest a rinse for this recipe in order to wash off excess debris and added starch.
It's what gives risotto a desirable al dente texture, but we found it unwelcome in pudding. For pudding with a creamy texture boasting rice with a pleasant, mild chew, long-grain rice is still the best choice.
Although this dish is most commonly made using long grain White Rice (some would even use Thai Jasmine Rice, many would argue that, to achieve a balance between consistency and flavor, aromatic Basmati Rice should be used as it contains starch.
1. Kozy Shack. When it comes to quality and flavor, Kozy Shack is the winner in the pudding game! The Original Recipe Rice Pudding is a Kosher, gluten-free and vegan treat that is great for breakfast, dessert, or a snack for a great variety of diets.
Rice pudding will thicken as it cools, but if you prefer your pudding thicker, you can whisk in a beaten egg while the pudding is warming and continue cooking until it's thickened. To thicken cooled, cooked rice pudding, fold in whipped cream.
Don't cover when it's still hot. Do not cover when the pudding is still hot, but should be covered when the pudding has cooled. This is to avoid the presence of steam which makes the pudding runny.
Oven temperature is an important key to baking custards. If eggs are overheated by high temperatures over 325ºF, they curdle and get watery. Some people use a (messy and potentially dangerous) water bath to hold the baking dish of pudding.
It should thicken up fairly quickly. If it doesn't thicken immediately, don't worry. Just keep at medium heat and stir frequently until it is of desired consistency. Pour into bowls and serve immediately.
Since storage and handling conditions vary, once the package is open, it is best to eat it within a few days. Pudding that looks, smells or tastes off should always be discarded.
You can serve your rice pudding immediately, or let it cool to room temperature and store it in the fridge for a cold, fruit-topped breakfast or snack. The pudding will keep in your fridge for about 4 days. But unlike that bowl of cooked rice, it probably won't last that long.
Though there are many different types, the rice we buy is mainly of two kinds: long grain (most brown and white rice) and short grain (risotto and pudding rice).
A specific type of rice is available and widely used for rice pudding, called pudding rice. Similar to Arborio rice, its grain is round and short, and when cooked produces a creamier consistency than savoury rice. However, other short grained rice can be used as a substitute.
Pudding rice is also a short-grain starchy rice and a lot of the rice sold as pudding rice is sourced from Italy. The main difference between pudding rice and arborio rice is that arborio rice tends to remain slightly firm in the centre, even once cooked, and this can be important for the texture of the cake.
