Looking for an even healthier rice pudding recipes? Check out my Creamy Brown Rice Pudding!
Did you know there are two, very different, kinds of rice pudding? So, for anyone out there that may think they don’t like rice pudding, maybe they haven’t tried the right version. 🙂 One version of rice pudding is made in a saucepan and the end result is similar in taste to store-bought rice pudding or “arroz con leche”. It’s milky, and kind of thick and mushy and pretty tasty. The other, old fashioned type of rice pudding is a baked, custard-style rice pudding. This version gets my vote every. single. time. My mom used to make this Baked Custard Style Rice Pudding all the time when we were young. She would add lots of raisins and top it with cinnamon. Just thinking about it brings back really good memories :-). I love old fashioned recipes like this. They’re warm, hearty and completely delicious. Plus, it’s one of the cheapest desserts you can make. This dessert is perfect for a cold winter night when you want to make something really easy and delicious using ingredients you already have in your pantry.
Start by beating eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Then, slowly add the milk and cream and mix. Add vanilla, cinnamon, rice, and raisins and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish that is oven safe and cook it in a water bath. Don’t be intimidated by the water bath, it’s simple just bake the pan inside another large pan with water in it. The water bath helps the custard to be creamy and cook evenly. This rice pudding recipe takes about in the oven for about 40-50 minutes.
YES! This is a great dessert to throw together using leftover rice.
