Description
Baked Rice Pudding is a warm, nostalgic dessert made with tender rice, creamy milk, sweet sugar, and a hint of cinnamon, baked to perfection for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the cooked rice, raisins (if using), and melted butter.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pudding dish (water bath).
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the pudding is set but slightly creamy in the center.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly, and serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
- You can substitute golden raisins or dried cranberries for a twist.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking for added flavor.
