Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medium-grain white rice
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and keeps the pudding creamy but not clumpy.
Add the rinsed rice, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter to the slow cooker.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the flavors.
If you’re adding raisins, stir them in at this stage.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, stirring halfway through to ensure the rice cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the bottom.
After 4 hours, check the pudding consistency. If it’s too thick, you can stir in extra milk (a few tablespoons at a time) to loosen it up.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding cool slightly. The pudding will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
