Enjoy the comfort of rice pudding in a fraction of the time.  Start with raw rice, milk, cinnamon and sweetened condensed milk and have sweet creamy rice pudding with almost no effort.

This rice pudding is thick, rich and creamy, just the way you would want it to be. Add raisins, dried cranberries or whatever you would like and take it to the next level.

Then enjoy you pudding warm or cold. I find it interesting the way people enjoy rice pudding.

I love to eat it warm. There is something extra comforting about the cinnamon, nutmeg and warm creaminess.

But I know a lot of folks like to chill it before they eat it too. Maybe you should have one bowl fresh and warm and another cold and creamy.

Making Rice Pudding Is Easy

Sometimes rive pudding is made because you have leftover rice that needs used up. But it is so good, sometimes you just want to make it for the sake of it, so you don’t have cooked rice on hand.

That is where your pressure cooker comes in. Start with raw long grain rice and be ready to dig in in no time.

The rice cooks in water and milk, so it is already creamy. The stir in sweetened condensed milk to instantly make it rich, sweet and creamy.

I used a recipe of my homemade sweetened condensed milk, but a can is perfect too. That’s really all it takes!

If your rice pudding is thicker than you would like it, stir in an extra splash of milk. If it is too thin, just cook it a little bit longer.

What kind of rice is best for rice pudding?

This recipe uses uncooked long grain white rice to make the rice pudding because it is the most common kind of rice people have in their pantry. However, you can use basmati or jasmine rice if you prefer.

    Came out just right, doubled the recipe ingredients with 1 can of condensed milk and sweetness was perfect, for me anyway. Added after done 1 additional cup of milk to reduce thickness for serving. Thank you, this will be my new go to recipe.

  2. 5 stars
    I made this for tonight’s Latino themed menu for dessert. I only added one additional ingredient which was a full abuelita tablet (I doubled my recipe, so only use half tablet for regular recipe) that was grated into the mixture before cooking. It came out wonderfully delicious! This will be added to my recipe collection. 5 stars!

    1. I am so glad you liked it! I’ll bet the abuelita chocolate was amazing in there!

    Can I use evaporated milk with this recipe???

    1. Are you thinking in place of the condensed milk? If so, you will need to add some sugar too. Probably a half to three quarters of a cup of sugar will do. If you are using it in place of the milk, just add enough water to make to make 2 cups of liquid.

  4. Do you think you could make tapioca pudding using this sweetened condensed milk recipe?
    Thanks, Conni

    1. I think you could. I have a recipe for Instant Pot tapioca. I would use that as a starting point but use half milk, half water. Cook it according to the directions and then stir in the condensed milk. In fact, that sounds marvelous. I am going to have to try it myself!

  5. My instant pro crisp + air fryer pot does not have a porridge button. Is there an alternative?
    Thank you

    1. 10 minutes on high pressure plus a 10 minute natural pressure release should do the job nicely.

    this is yummy. mine stuck to the bottom of the pot, but there was still plenty left that was usable. thanks for sharing.

    1. I’m sorry it got sticky on you, but I am glad you liked it. Thank you!

  7. Was good and easy. The cinnamon stuck to bottom of instant pot. Little burned but didn’t ruin rice pudding.
    Maybe cooked to long?

    1. Hmmmm. That’s interesting. I haven’t had that happen. But you could always add the cinnamon at the end if it seems like it would be an ongoing problem. I am glad you liked the rice pudding!

  8. I made this today and I had to come on here and let you know that it is delicious!!! I will be making this often! Thanks for the recipe!

    1. That makes me so happy!! Thank you for coming back to let me know!

  9. Absolutely delicious!
