Description
There is something wildly comforting about slow cooker rice pudding. It’s warm, creamy, smells like cinnamon and vanilla, and takes almost no effort. Toss everything in, let it cook low and slow, and come back to cozy, nostalgic goodness waiting for you.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups milk
- ½ cup Arborio rice
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Add milk, Arborio rice, white sugar, brown sugar, raisins, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the slow cooker.
- Stir well to prevent the rice from clumping.
- Cover and cook on low for 2½ to 3 hours.
- Stir once every hour if possible to prevent sticking.
- Cook until the rice is tender and the pudding is thick and creamy.
- Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10–15 minutes to thicken further.
- Stir before serving and enjoy warm or chilled.
Notes
Use whole milk for the creamiest texture. Stir occasionally for best results. The pudding thickens as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and add a splash of milk when reheating.
