Slow cooker rice pudding is a creamy, comforting dessert where rice slowly cooks in milk and sugar until soft and rich. Using a slow cooker makes it easy because you don’t need to stir it constantly. 🍚🥛
Ingredients
- ¾ cup rice (short-grain or Arborio works best)
- 4 cups milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Lightly grease the slow cooker with butter.
- Add rice, milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon to the slow cooker.
- Stir everything together.
- Cook on LOW for 2½–3 hours, stirring once or twice if possible.
- When rice is tender and creamy, stir in vanilla and raisins.
- Serve warm or chilled.
Tips for Creamy Rice Pudding
- Use whole milk for a richer texture.
- Stir once during cooking to prevent sticking.
- If it gets too thick, add a little warm milk before serving.
Optional Toppings
- Extra cinnamon or nutmeg
- Fresh fruit (berries, mango, banana)
- Honey or maple syrup
- Chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds
