There’s something so comforting about a warm bowl of rice pudding, especially when the weather starts to cool down. This Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Rice Pudding is a simple and delightful treat that brings back memories of family gatherings and cozy evenings at home. It’s a classic dessert that’s been passed down through generations, and it’s perfect for those who want a no-fuss, delicious dessert that practically makes itself.
This rice pudding is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it by serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a bit of crunch, sprinkle some toasted almonds or walnuts on top. It pairs beautifully with a cup of hot tea or coffee, making it a lovely end to any meal.
Ingredients
1 cup of raw white rice
4 cups of milk
1/2 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Directions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Add the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the slow cooker.
Stir everything together to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the rice is tender and the pudding is creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, give it a good stir and serve warm. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk. You can also add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity twist. If you have a sweet tooth, consider drizzling some caramel sauce or honey over the top before serving. For those who enjoy a bit of spice, a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom can add a lovely depth of flavor.
