The Best Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe

There are simple ingredients in rice pudding, but a few tips on which ingredients to use so you’re outcome is the best it possibly can be.

  1. Use medium grain rice. It stays tender through the cooking without breaking apart, which keeps the pudding from turning mushy.
  2. I used a combination of heavy cream and whole milk which I think lends to a more creamy rice pudding. Using all cream tends to give a fatty mouth-feel, whereas, using just whole milk is not quite rich enough. The combination used below in this recipe is ideal, in my opinion.
  3. Eggs give the rice pudding a custard texture adding to the richness and binding it all together.
  4. Temper the eggs when adding to the mixture. After adding the egg yolks, simmer gently so you don’t curdle the custard.

    I always thought rice pudding was baked in a water bath. Is it not needed in this recipe?

      No ma’am. I’ve never heard of that with rice pudding. We’ve always baked our without.

    My Nana’s old recipe, which was creamy and delicious as heck, used nothing but pudding rice, full fat milk or jersey milk, a bit of caster sugar and a vanilla pod. Eggs do nothing for rice pudding at all imo.

    Can you use cooked brown rice for this recipe?

      I don’t like brown rice in rice pudding. It’s too ‘earthy’ tasting to me.

    I make my husband’s aunt’s version. I use 1%milk and some 1/2 and 1/2 . It also calls for more eggs and a bit of cornstarch. I added my own twist… some nutmeg to the pure vanilla extract her recipe calls for. Lots of flavor with that combo.

    My husband loves this desert and when I tried to make it, it came out awful! I’m going to try your recipe and see what he thinks. By the way could you post a great recipe for Bread Pudding and the brandy sauce.
    Thanks,
    Barbara from California
