Rice Pudding with Condensed Milk
Description
This recipe starts by simmering short-grain rice in boiling water with salt until most water evaporates and the rice softens, about 20 minutes. Sweetened condensed milk, cream, and vanilla extract are then folded in to add sweetness and richness. The mixture returns to low heat and is stirred constantly until the pudding reaches the desired thickness. The cooking time varies widely—between 8 to 20 minutes—depending on the rice type, the amount of condensed milk, heat, and preferred consistency.
The condensed milk amount can be adjusted from 200 to 300 grams or more to suit sweetness levels, which also influence cooking times. The pudding thickens upon cooling, so slightly thinner results from cooking will set up nicely. This method yields a creamy, smooth rice pudding that balances sweetness, richness, and vanilla aroma.
Rice pudding like this serves well as a comforting dessert or snack. Its flexibility with sugar level and cooking time allows customization to taste. Stirring continually during the finishing simmer prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.
Ingredients
- 150 grams short-grain rice like risotto (Arborio), pudding rice or medium-grain rice like pilau rice, 5.3oz
- 1 litre water 4¼ US cups, boiling
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 300 grams sweetened condensed milk Adjust to taste: less for mild sweetness, up to whole can for extra sweet (highly recommended!, 10.5oz
- 6 tablespoons cream or single/whipping cream, double
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the rice, boiling water and salt to a large saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until most of the water has evaporated and the rice is cooked.
- Fold the condensed milk, cream and vanilla extract through the cooked rice until well combined.
- Bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer, then cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until you reach your desired consistency. NOTE: Depending on the type of rice, amount of condensed milk, saucepan and heat, this can take anywhere between 8-20 minutes, depending on how thick you like it.Don't worry if it looks thin at first - just keep simmering and stirring, it will thicken up.
Notes
- Adjust condensed milk from 200g to a full 300g can to suit your sweetness preference.
- Cooking time ranges from 8 to 20 minutes; longer times thicken the pudding more.
- Keep stirring while simmering to prevent the pudding from sticking to the pan.
- The pudding thickens further as it cools, so slightly thinner texture while hot is normal.
