Hoow to Make Creamy Rice Pudding
Step 1: Rinse and Start Cooking the Rice
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent it from getting too sticky.
In a medium saucepan, add rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until most of the water is absorbed (about 8–10 minutes).
Step 2: Add Milk and Simmer
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the milk, add cinnamon, and stir occasionally as it simmers gently.
Let it cook uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring every few minutes so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. The rice should become soft, and the mixture should start to thicken.
Step 3: Sweeten and Flavor
Once the pudding has reached your desired thickness, stir in sugar, butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the cinnamon stick, if used.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
Spoon the warm pudding into bowls or glasses. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or crumble your favorite biscuits on top for a delicious crunch.
Serve warm for cozy comfort or chilled for a refreshing treat — it’s irresistible either way!
🌿 Tips for the Perfect Creamy Texture
Use whole milk — it gives a richer, creamier pudding.
Stir frequently while cooking to prevent scorching.
If it thickens too much, add a splash of warm milk before serving.
For extra indulgence, mix in a spoonful of condensed milk at the end.
🍨 Variations to Try
Coconut Twist: Replace half the milk with coconut milk and top with toasted coconut flakes.
Fruity Delight: Add raisins during the last 5 minutes of cooking or top with caramelized apples or berries.
Chocolate Version: Stir in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolatey spin.
💛 The Final Spoonful
This Creamy Rice Pudding is more than a dessert — it’s a bowl of comfort, tradition, and love. Whether you serve it after dinner or enjoy it quietly with your morning coffee, it never fails to warm the heart and satisfy the soul.
Because sometimes, happiness really is as simple as milk, rice, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 🍚✨
