A bowl of cinnamon raisin rice pudding dessert on the table.

Raisin Rice Pudding

This thick, rich, creamy pudding makes a wonderful dessert. It boasts hints of cinnamon and vanilla as well as juicy raisins.
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:25 minutes
Servings:8 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 cup white rice
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Mix milk, rice, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and vanilla in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring from time to time.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add condensed milk and butter. If you prefer rice to be softer, just add more milk.
  • Divide pudding among serving bowls and serve topped with cinnamon.

Notes

  • Try chopped apples instead of raisins for a tasty twist.
  • Don’t have the heat up too high or you risk scorching the pudding. Barely simmering is perfect and remember to stir it every 5 minutes or so.
  • Add a splash of milk if you want it to come out softer. The rice will continue cooking and softening as it cooks.
  • You can serve this hot, warm, or chilled, as you prefer. I love it served hot during the cooler months, but it’s surprisingly refreshing served chilled in the summer.
