🍚 Creamy Milk Rice Pudding Recipe | Classic Comfort Dessert

Craving something sweet, creamy, and nostalgic? This Milk Rice Pudding is a warm, velvety dessert made with simple pantry ingredients — rice, milk, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. Whether you serve it hot or cold, it’s a comforting classic that never goes out of style!

📝 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup uncooked short-grain or basmati rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cinnamon stick (or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: raisins, cardamom, nutmeg, or saffron for flavor

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Rinse and Cook the Rice

  1. Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add rice and 1 cup of water.
  3. Cook over medium heat until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes.

Step 2: Simmer with Milk

  1. Add milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and salt.
  2. Simmer gently over low heat, stirring often to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook for 25–30 minutes until the rice is tender and the pudding is creamy.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.

Step 3: Serve

  • Serve warm for a cozy dessert or chilled for a cool treat.
  • Garnish with ground cinnamon, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon, or toasted coconut.
  • Top with fruit compote, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Pair with black tea, masala chai, or hot chocolate.

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Add a splash of milk when reheating to bring back the creaminess.

🔄 Variations

  • Vegan: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk and plant-based sweetener.
  • Spiced: Add cardamom, clove, or saffron for a deeper aroma.
  • Fruity: Mix in raisins, chopped dates, or mango cubes.
  • Rice Options: Arborio rice creates an ultra-creamy texture.
