Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked rice (jasmine or Arborio works best)
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Grease the inside of the crockpot lightly to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Add Ingredients: Combine the uncooked rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the crockpot. Stir gently to mix all the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the mixture for 4 to 5 hours. Stir the pudding occasionally during cooking to prevent rice from sticking to the sides and bottom, and to promote even thickening.
  4. Check Consistency and Finish: After cooking, the rice should be tender and the pudding thickened. If desired, sprinkle extra cinnamon on top before serving.
  5. Serve Warm: Spoon the rice pudding into bowls and serve warm for a cozy and satisfying dessert.

Notes

  • Use jasmine or Arborio rice for the creamiest texture; other rice types may alter the consistency.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the pudding from sticking and burning.
  • For a richer pudding, you can substitute part of the milk with cream or evaporated milk.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and enjoyed cold or reheated.
  • Optional toppings include raisins, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
