Instructions
- Take the arborio rice in the inner steel pot. If you want you can rinse the rice once or twice in a small colander or strainer (which is what I do). You can also use basmati and jasmine rice. If using basmati or jasmine rice reduce the milk quantity to 2.5 cups.
- Add unrefined cane sugar, a pinch of salt and whole milk. You can use white sugar instead.
- Stir and mix with a spoon.
- Cover and secure the instant pot with its lid and position the steam release handle to sealing.
- Press the porridge setting button which has an auto timing of 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes when you hear the beep sound, give a natural pressure release (NPR) of 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes lift the steam release handle and when the float valve falls down, open the lid.
- The rice would have formed a few lumps in some places. So break most of these lumps with a spoon.
- Add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg.
- Add your choice of nuts. I added some and golden raisins.
- Press the sauté button and set time to 4 to 5 minutes on normal mode.
- Once the beep sound is heard and you see the pudding simmering, stir often so that the pudding does not burn or scorch from the bottom.
- Break any lumps if any while stirring. You can cancel the sauté mode before the set time of 4 to 5 minutes if the pudding thickens.
- Keep in mind the consistency you want as on cooling the pudding thickens more. Stir and simmer till the rice pudding reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the Instant Pot Rice Pudding hot or warm or cold. You can add a dollop of cream if you like. Do garnish with some sliced almonds or raisins before serving.
- Refrigerate any leftover pudding in an air-tight container. This rice pudding keeps well for 4 to 5 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Add your choice of nuts or dry fruits.
- Ground nutmeg can be given a skip. You could also omit adding both ground cinnnamon & grated nutmeg and instead add ½ teaspoon of ground green cardamom.
- You can add 1 tablespoon of butter if you prefer.
- Any long grained rice or basmati rice or jasmine rice can be replaced with arborio rice. Add 2.5 cups milk if using these rice grains.
- Add your favorite creamy dairy-free milk for a vegan option. I suggest oat milk for the best consistency.
- On cooling if the pudding becomes too thick, add some hot or warm milk and mix.
- The recipe can be easily scaled to double or triple the servings.
