Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups whole milk
- 2 cups instant rice
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional add-in/garnish)
- Extra cinnamon (optional garnish)
- Cinnamon sticks (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the crockpot: Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick spray for easy cleanup.
- Add the ingredients: Pour all ingredients into the crockpot and stir well to combine the rice, milk, sugar, and spices.
- Let it cook: Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally. The pudding is ready when the rice is tender and it has thickened to your desired consistency. It will thicken more as it cools.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the crockpot rice pudding into bowls. Garnish with extra cinnamon, raisins, or a cinnamon stick for a cozy, homemade touch. Serve warm for the ultimate comfort dessert.
Notes
- This recipe requires instant rice; regular rice will not yield the correct texture.
- The pudding thickens as it cools. Cook until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Do not freeze rice pudding, as it can become grainy.
- Stir in a splash of milk before reheating to loosen the pudding.
- Raisins can be added during cooking or used as a garnish.
- Variations include coconut milk, holiday spices, cranberries, orange zest, chocolate chips, or rum-soaked raisins.
