Here’s a creamy, comforting Slow Cooker Rice Pudding recipe — rich, gently sweet, and incredibly easy 🍚🥛
🍮 Slow Cooker Rice Pudding
(Serves 6)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup uncooked white rice (short or medium grain works best)
- 4 cups whole milk
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Combine Ingredients
Add rice, milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon (if using), and butter to the slow cooker. Stir well.
2️⃣ Cook
- Low: 2½–3 hours
- Stir every 45–60 minutes if possible to prevent sticking.
3️⃣ Finish
- When rice is tender and pudding is creamy, stir in vanilla and raisins.
- If too thick, add a splash of warm milk and stir.
4️⃣ Serve
- Serve warm, or chill for 2–3 hours for a thicker, cold version.
- Sprinkle with extra cinnamon before serving.
✨ Tips
- For extra richness, replace 1 cup of milk with heavy cream.
- Add lemon zest for brightness.
- For a custard-style version, stir in 1 beaten egg during the last 30 minutes of cooking (cook until fully set).
If you’d like, I can also give you a condensed milk version that’s extra creamy and slightly caramelized in flavor.
