Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot

Ingredients

  • ½ cup pudding rice or arborio rice or medium grain rice
  • 2.25 cups milk dairy milk or non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Tip the pudding rice into your pot, and add the milk, cardamom, nutmeg and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a very light simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring often.
  • Check the rice is cooked through. It should have a little bite, but not be hard in the center of the grain of rice. Cook for longer, if required, and add more milk to loosen as needed.

Notes

Adjust the cook time as needed. You want the rice to be soft (to preference) so cook for longer, if required. Cook time will vary slightly depending on the type of rice used, and level of heat.
  • The texture of rice pudding is always a little individual. This recipe gives a thicker rice pudding, so add a splash more milk if you prefer a looser consistency.
  • Do keep stirring! It helps give a creamy rice pudding.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
