Notes

  • For the best results, don’t overcook this pudding! Leave it saucy: you want the rice to be tender, but you should take your saucepan off the heat when the liquid has ALMOST been absorbed. Letting your rice sit for 20 minutes afterward will cause it to absorb all that deliciousness and leave you with a rich and creamy dessert.
  • To make a vegan or dairy-free rice pudding, you can substitute dairy-free milk such as coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk for milk. And substitute coconut oil or vegan butter for butter. 
  • Instead of raspberry jam, you can top this with one of our 3-Ingredient Microwave Jams or some macerated berries.
  • Rice has a natural sweetness and makes some delicious desserts from around the world. If you like rice pudding, definitely try our Thai Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango, Filipino Chocolate Rice Pudding or the classic Danish Christmas dessert Risalamande.
