How To Make Homemade Rice Pudding In A Slow Cooker

This slow cooker rice pudding will please anyone who loves a rich, creamy dessert. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to get together quickly.

Rice pudding is traditionally either baked in the oven or cooked over the stove. Using the slow cooker is a different method that works surprisingly well. The best thing is that you can simply set and forget.

If you love creamy rice, then you will certainly not be disappointed with this recipe. There are also lots of variations that you can do to help add more of a unique spin to this recipe.

Variations Worth Trying

This recipe also uses no eggs, so there is no risk of ending up with eggy-tasting rice. You can also try substituting the milk with something that may be better suited for your needs, such as soy or almond milk.

I left raisins out of this recipe, but they will work just fine if you would like to add them. I recommend adding about half a cup to the standard recipe.

For a chocolate rice pudding, add three tablespoons of cocoa or 150g (5.3 oz) of milk chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate as it gives it a much richer taste.

As I mentioned in the cooking tips further down this page, there is an abundance of extras that you can with this rice pudding. I love having it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, but some fruit or even chocolate will work great with it.

Accompaniments for Rice Pudding

If you want some extra fruit to go with your pudding, I have a couple of suggestions that I often enjoy having with it. The following are just a few of my favorites:

Stewed apple with cinnamon
Mixed berries, fresh or frozen
Caramelized pears
Stewed Rhubarb

Of course, a lot of these extras will likely involve more work, but if you are happy with just the vanilla version, then you are still in for a treat.

Rice Pudding Leftovers

I love slow cooker desserts as they typically heat the next day nicely. I like to keep any leftovers of this pudding in the fridge and have it for breakfast or as a treat later on in the day.

It is probably best to avoid freezing this dessert as it is unlikely to defrost nicely. However, if you have tried and it works, then be sure to let us know.

Recipe Tips

The duration you cook this pudding may vary depending on the slow cooker you are using. The high setting may be slightly different from the one I used for this recipe. If you are unsure, keep an eye on it for the first ten minutes and make sure it maintains a light simmer and not a boil.
If you love your rice puddings to be creamy, then you can try substituting two cups of milk with cream instead. This extra cream will result in a much creamier texture but be a slightly bit unhealthier.
Rinsing the rice under water helps remove a lot of the excess starch, rids of foreign matter and also just helps for a lovely tasting rice pudding. You will also notice the rice will not clump as much if you rinse it first.
If you do not have any cinnamon sticks, you can replace them with ground cinnamon instead. One teaspoon should be more than enough.

Note: I use a 5.5L (6 Quart) slow cooker for all the recipes that I have on this website unless specified. If you have a smaller or larger slow cooker, then you might need to adjust the ingredients.
