Old Fashioned Rice Pudding Recipe
This comfort food dessert is a great way to use leftover rice and it’s SO delicious! Just like Grandma used to make! The prep is easy and it’s great with or without raisins!
This recipe brings back so many great childhood memories! My mom used to make it when I was growing up and it was always my absolute favorite.
My siblings and I would wait so patiently for the rice to cook and cool, for the pudding to bake, and then finally for it to cool off enough for us to eat it.
It never lasted very long before it was gone back then, and it doesn’t last long now when I make it for my family. The custard is sweet and the sprinkle of cinnamon on top when serving adds a perfect touch of flavor.
When I make this recipe, I always use leftover rice from the refrigerator. It saves time not having to cook and cool it before using since the baking time is quite long.
What are the ingredients in this recipe?
Cinnamon: Loaded with antioxidants and also has anti inflammatory properties it has been used medicinally around the world for thousands of years. Cinnamon is a spice from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum. You can use it in sweet and savory cooking and baking.
Vanilla extract: this extract is made from vanilla bean pods soaked in water and alcohol. Try using pure vanilla extract instead of imitation. This is the most common extract used in American desserts and I put it in pretty much anything sweet, Use store bought or make your own here!
Granulated sugar: Also known as white sugar, table sugar or regular sugar. It’s grainy, common and used in many types of recipes
cooked rice
large eggs
milk
salt
nutmeg
Recipe tips:
Make sure the cooked rice is cold, or room temperature. This ensures it won’t clump during the baking process
If you prefer less custard, use two cups of milk, two large eggs and 1/2 cup sugar. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes instead
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator after cooling
Some recipe testers preferred reducing the baking time by 5-10 minutes
Cooked instant rice doesn’t work the best in this recipe, use cooked long grain rice
