• How to make creamy rice pudding easily:
• Add the milk, vanilla, and rice to a medium-sized saucepan.
• Reduce the heat once the milk begins to get hot. Continue to stir with a fork continuously for 5-6 mins or until the milk has been absorbed almost entirely by the rice.
• Remove the pan from heat and cover it with a lid. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Add cinnamon, butter, honey, or fresh fruit to the rice.

 

Can you eat rice pudding cold?

Yes! Yes! Put the rice pudding in an airtight container, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Enjoy with fresh berries.

This is the way I like to eat my pudding best.

MEAL PREP

You can make a large batch of cookies for 3-4 days.

• Double the ingredients
• Portion out the pudding in airtight containers. (I prefer to use jars).
• If you like it warm, reheat it in the microwave with milk or water. (The rice can absorb a lot of milk and become sticky).
• When it’s time for dinner, top your pizza with your favorite toppings!

Top Ideas

More straightforward is better! It’s best to keep it simple. Something light and sweet with just the right amount of sweetness will do.

You can use berries, cherries or apples, pears, or even tangerines cut up. These fruits have a slight acidity, which adds a lovely flavor to the creamy rice pud. The jam will also make an excellent topping!
