Notes
- Long-grain white rice (basmati or jasmine) works best for a light texture; avoid short-grain or arborio for this recipe.
- Do not use the rice function on the Instant Pot; use manual settings for ideal results.
- Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch and keep pudding smooth.
- Natural pressure release is important for proper texture, letting the rice absorb liquids slowly.
- Add sweetened condensed milk after cooking to prevent scorching and maintain creaminess.
