Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 0.3333 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for a creamier pudding.
Grease the inside of the crock pot lightly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
In the crock pot, combine the rinsed rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the sugar and cinnamon are evenly distributed.
Set the crock pot to low heat, cover, and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to prevent the rice from clumping or sticking to the bottom.
After 2.5 hours, check the consistency. If the pudding is too thick, you can add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk to reach your desired creaminess.
Once the rice is tender and the pudding is creamy, stir in the vanilla extract and raisins (if using). Cook for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Turn off the crock pot and allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or whipped cream.
