I can’t leave this pudding alone when I have it in the refrigerator. It is great heated or cold. You could double or cut in half the recipe. This pudding keeps in the refrigerator for several days.

Sprinkle on some nuts for an added treat. If you like rice pudding, you will love this recipe. This rice pudding is good for breakfast, too. When I was a child we loved rice pudding for breakfast!

Creamy rice pudding is good anytime.
1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk (I use 2%)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nutmeg or cinnamon
1 cup raisins, (optional)
Add rice, sugar, salt, 2 cups regular milk and the 1 cup whipping cream to a medium saucepan on top of the stove. Cook on medium or high just until you see bubbles start to form in the mixture. Turn burner to low, cover and let cook for 20 minutes stirring two to three times. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and raisins. Sprinkle on nutmeg or cinnamon to taste. Rice will become thicker as it cools. Makes about 6 servings. Enjoy!

Will it make a difference if I remove the cover once it is removed from the heat? About how long until it begins to thicken?
Thank you!
You can remove the cover. It should thicken once it is cooled.
I LOVE rice pudding!
I have always bought it ‘ready made’ at the grocery store.
I will now be making it at home.
Thank you!
I hope you enjoy this pudding and have a great weekend.
This is exactly like my mom would make …’rice and raisins’! Thank you!
You are very welcome Tricia. Enjoy!
Sounds delicious..but when do you add the raisins? Thanks!
Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and raisins.
Thank you ! My mom made this when I was growing up. Mom never wrote a recipe down, She had them all in her head. She passed and I never knew how she made it. This is exactly like hers! Thank you again.
You are very welcome! Enjoy!
