Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white rice (short or medium-grain)
  • 8 cups milk (whole milk or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by rinsing the rice under cold water.
    This step wil help you get the ideal texture.
  • Drain them well.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and milk.
    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture
    to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
    Stir frequently to prevent the rice from clumping together and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
    Simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the mixture thickens.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool for a few minutes.
    As it cools, the pudding will continue to thicken.
  • Once the rice pudding has cooled to a warm or room temperature, spoon it into individual serving bowls or glasses.
    You can serve it as is or sprinkle some ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for added flavor and garnish.

Notes

Before the baking / cooking steps, I would like to share with you my 5 specific pro tips to make the best easy rice pudding recipe no egg:
  • Choose the right rice type: Opt for short-grain rice varieties such as Arborio or sushi rice.
These types of rice have a higher starch content, which will result in a creamier texture for your pudding.
 
  • Rinse the rice: Before cooking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
This step helps remove excess starch from the rice, preventing it from becoming overly sticky.
 
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: Cooking rice pudding on low heat for an extended period requires a pot that distributes heat evenly.
A heavy-bottomed pot helps prevent scorching and ensures the rice cooks uniformly.
 
  • Gradually add milk: Instead of adding all the milk at once, start with a smaller amount and gradually pour in more as the rice absorbs the liquid.
This method helps achieve a creamy consistency without making the pudding too runny.
 
  • Stir frequently: Stirring the rice pudding regularly while it cooks prevents it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
This  ensures even heat distribution.
It also helps you release the starch from the rice, contributing to a creamier texture.👌👍
  • My Bonus Tip: Enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of salt, a splash of vanilla extract, and your choice of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom.
These additions can elevate the taste profile of your rice pudding.
 
Remember: The cooking time may vary depending on the rice variety and desired consistency.
So be sure to keep an eye on the pudding as it simmers.👍
Bon Appétit👌
