This recipe for the best rice pudding cooks up into a sweet and creamy treat that is one of the best comfort food desserts in the world!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 ½ quarts milk
  • 1 cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • Ground nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pour two cups of water in a large pot and add the rice.  Simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Add two quarts of milk, 1 cup of sugar and the butter, turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for one hour.
  3. While the rice is cooking, put the rest of the milk, the eggs, the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk it all up until it is well combined.
  4. When the rice is cooked, let it cool for one hour, and then pour the egg mixture into the pot with the rice and give it a good stir.  Simmer it over medium heat for about 20 minutes until it is slightly thickened.
  5. Pour the pudding into a 9 x 13 casserole and let it set in the fridge for about three hours.  Don’t worry if it looks a little soupy when it goes in the pan – it will thicken up!
  6. When you are ready to serve it up, spoon it into dishes, garnish with a little nutmeg and give everyone a spoon!
