Greek Rice Pudding Recipe
Report
This custard-like Greek Rice Rudding Recipe is very soft and creamy. Unlike a sticky rice pudding. This one is lighter and refreshing. Made with no eggs!

Ingredients
- 130 grams (4.6 ounce) short-grain white rice
- 600 ml water
- a pinch of salt
- 1 lemon peel
- 1 liter milk
- 150 grams (5.3 ounce) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 40 grams (4 tablespoons) cornstarch
- ground cinnamon to serve with
Instructions
- Rinse the rice well and set aside.
- Add the 600 ml of water to a saucepan together with the lemon peel and pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add the rice and drop the heat to medium. Cook until the rice absorbs all the water and becomes very soft and sticky.
- Take 100 ml of milk out of the 1 liter and add it to a small bowl together with the cornstarch. Mix well.
- Add the remaining 900 ml of milk to a medium-sized cooking pot together with the sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat.
- Once the milk gets steamy hot, stir the contents of the small bowl containing the cornstarch and milk, and pour it slowly into the pot with the hot milk.
- Stir well with a whisk for a couple of minutes until the mixture starts to become creamy and slightly thickened. NOTE: It will start to thicken after it bubbles. Also, it will thicken slightly not much.
- Add the cooked rice (discarding the lemon peel) to the pot, and stir very well.
- Take the pot off the heat. And let stand for 10 minutes. Then transfer the rice pudding to small bowls.
- You can enjoy it warm sprinkled with ground cinnamon or let it cool down to room temperature and refrigerate for 6-8 hours to enjoy it cold, as it is mostly done in Greece.
