Indulge in the creamy decadence of Rice Cheesecake Pudding, a delightful twist on classic cheesecake that combines the comforting texture of cooked white rice with the rich, velvety flavors of cream cheese and vanilla.

Ideal for dinner parties or a cozy family gathering, Rice Cheesecake Pudding is best enjoyed chilled, making it a refreshing yet indulgent finale to any meal.
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked white rice and whole milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and silky.
Gradually stir in the warmed rice and milk mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt together. Then, slowly pour this into the rice and cream cheese mixture, whisking constantly to ensure even distribution.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden on top. The center should have a slight jiggle but not be runny.
Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up.
Optional: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top for added texture and garnish before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Rice Cheesecake Pudding!
