An old-fashioned recipe for traditional Rice Pudding! This is an easy to follow recipe for the perfect creamy texture!

Traditional Rice Pudding

When I was a kid it was my turn to pick something out from the deli. I decided to try Rice Pudding for the first time and it was heavenly! I was hooked! This recipe tastes exactly like it! It is so thick and creamy, it’s both nostalgic and better than the store bought stuff without all the preservatives!

I like to leave the sprinkling of the cinnamon until just before serving. Some people like it with and some like it without. That way each person can decide how they want it! You could also add raisins if you’d like.

I love traditional recipes, the kind that bring back memories when you make or eat it. Just like Grandma’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies or this Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding!

What You’ll Need:

• 5 1/2 cups + 1/2 cup Whole Milk
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Long Grain White Rice, Heaping
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• Ground Cinnamon

How to Make the Best Rice Pudding

• In a large sauce pan, combine 5 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Stir in 1/2 heaping cup long grain white rice and reduce to low heat, bringing the rice to a gentle simmer.
• Cook for 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken to the consistency of pudding.
