Description

This Slow-Cooker Rice Pudding is a rich and creamy dessert made with whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg, all cooked slowly until the rice is tender and infused with warm spices. The comforting pudding is finished with fragrant vanilla, making it an easy and delightful treat to prepare without standing over the stove.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 5-1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1-1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Grease the sides and bottom of a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker well with the softened butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Combine ingredients: In the greased slow cooker, pour in the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg. Whisk these ingredients thoroughly until well combined to ensure the flavors meld evenly.
  3. Add the rice: Stir in the uncooked long grain rice until it is fully coated with the milk mixture, which will help it cook evenly and absorb all the flavors during the slow cooking process.
  4. Cook the pudding: Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 2 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours. Stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time to prevent rice from sticking to the sides and to promote even cooking. The pudding is ready when the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  5. Finish with vanilla: Just before serving, stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract to add fragrant depth and richness to the pudding.

Notes

  • Use a slow cooker with at least 5-quart capacity to avoid overflow during cooking.
  • Stirring halfway through cooking helps prevent sticking and uneven cooking of the rice.
  • If you prefer a thicker pudding, you may cook a little longer while monitoring closely.
  • Vanilla bean paste provides more intense vanilla flavor but extract works well too.
  • This pudding is best served warm but can be chilled and reheated as a comforting dessert.
