Who knew this favorite end-of-meal recipe was so simple to make at home rather than buying it off the shelf at the supermarket?
I remember when I was little and my grandmother first introduced me to the goodness that is rice pudding.
At first I thought it was silly to make a dinner side into a dessert, but as I watched her spoon some whipped cream on top and sprinkle it with cinnamon I couldn’t resist. That first bite of warm, lightly sweet pudding was something I would never forget and I finished it faster than ever. I do believe I had three helpings that day – and I still remember the big smile on grandma’s face.
I couldn’t wait to share this treat with my kids, but I never enjoyed the packaged rice pudding as much as my grandmother’s. Somehow is didn’t have that full, delicious flavor. That’s why when I stumbled across this recipe I was so excited to make it for my family and hopefully see that same look of satisfaction on their faces.
Trust me when I say, seeing them scarf it down as fast as I did at their age was a joy I can’t explain! I hope one day there is someone who will think of me, when they start talking about grandma’s rice pudding!

Quick Tip: Skip the Reddi Whip or Cool Whip and blend up your own whipped topping from the carton, it’s so much better!

Greetings! Quite helpful advice on this article! It is the small changes
that make the biggest changes. Thanks a lot for sharing!
It’s delicious with pineapple instead of raisins.
My mom made this and my wife does Its always been a desert! My mothers was good but my wife’s is better. And yes Vivian it is good with pineapple but also like raisins/pineapple mixed in together.
Thought you might put some cinnamon in the mixture before baking. It does sound good.
“Uncle Ben’s Parboiled Rice” in the bag or “Uncle Ben’s Instant Rice” in the box ? Which is best, please ?
Neither…..use uncooked rice. It won’t work the same with par-boiled or instant rice. The whole idea hinges on the rice cooking throughout the thickening process. Instant rice won’t hold up in this type of recipe. If you want to use instant rice, search for a recipe “rice pudding made with instant rice”.
It works better with pudding rice rather than long-grain rice. Arborio is best. I also don’t like to stir it because I’m one of those weirdos that actually likes the skin that forms on top when you don’t stir.
I love rece pudding. I make it pretty much like thjis, but ie add raisins and flake coconut. Yum!
I love rice pudding. I make it pretty much like this, but I add raisins and flaked coconut. Yum!
I was very excited when I read the ingredient list, followed by the words “Combine the milk, sugar,and rice in a large saucepan”. My joy evaporated when it came to the baking instructions.
My mother always made her rice pudding on the stove. Entirely. No hot oven to make everyone in the kitchen cranky! lol Also, she used canned evaporated milk, because it was cheaper (back then!) I still do. I make my rice pudding with leftover Instant rice, and just let it simmer with it’s milk, butter, raisins and cinnamon. The rice puffs up huge, and is so tender!
We like our rice pudding with raisins and maple syrup instead of cream
I also use left over rice. Combine all in boiler and cook till thickens. I sometimes add French vanilla coffee creamer to richen the taste. Never use oven.
So I started making it the first time and the Teflon started coming off the pot so of course I had to throw it away. I almost got discouraged because the amount of time I’ve put into the first pit going by the directions and slowly bringing it to a boil but my tummy told me otherwise.
So I started over and I’m so happy I did and so is my tummy 😀
I did however turn up the heat after about 25 minutes not to high but enough to where it did more than just steam. Excellent rice pudding if have to say the best I’ve had. Will be making this again and doubling the recipe.
Thank you for sharing 😉
