I love rice pudding with sweetened condensed milk. It is one of those things that you don’t make often but when you do everyone loves it, its gone and you ask yourself, “How come I don’t make this more often?” My mom makes a great rice pudding recipe but it is a bit time consuming as she soaks her rice over night.
Easy and Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe
This recipe is quick, easy and of course creamy- just like every rice pudding should be. I do not use raisins in my rice pudding but you can add whatever optional ingredients you want after the final steps in this recipe. I even put this on my Thanksgiving dessert list this year.

Is the rice amount correct? Five cups of liquid to one cup of rice seems like a lot. Should it be two cups of rice? 10 servings with one cup rice does seem correct either.
The liquid all gets absorbed into the rice which makes it creamy. If you want thicker pudding add another 1/2 cup of rice. This is very decadent, a little bit is all you need- if you are looking for larger portions you may want to double the recipe!
The amount of ingredients for your delicious rice pudding are perfect. I even doubled the recipe and it came out awesome. Sooo good, thank you!!
Thank you Patty for taking the time to write- I am so glad you enjoyed it!
What if I have 2% milk? Should I increase the heavy cream? So excited to make this!
OMG!! This tastes AMAZING! So easy too.
Thank you so much for trying! How did you make out with the cream vs 2% milk? We love a creamy recipe.
Just made the rice pudding. It is the best rice pudding I’ve ever eaten. Reminds me of the Indian rice pudder kheer. I upped the rice to 3/4 cup and kept everything else the same. This is my new rice pudding recipe. Thanks

Do I have to add egg – not crazy about eggs – what does it taste like if you do add it – any substitute I can
Use or leave out completely.
