There's something wonderfully comforting about a bowl of warm rice pudding, especially when it’s made in a slow cooker. Slow Cooker Rice Pudding is an easy, delightful, and creamy rice dessert that harks back to traditional recipes but offers modern convenience.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup of arborio rice (or long-grain rice)
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
4 cups of milk (you can use almond milk for a dairy-free option)
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter (optional)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In your slow cooker, combine the rinsed rice, sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using).
Pour in the milk and stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and butter, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 4 hours, check the consistency; the pudding should be creamy and thick.
Once done, remove the lid and give it a good stir. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
