Creamy baked rice pudding sweetened with condensed milk; golden top, perfect warm or chilled.
# What You Need:
→ Grains
01 - 3/4 cup uncooked short-grain rice
→ Dairy & Liquids
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 3 cups whole milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Sweeteners & Flavorings
05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Optional
09 - 1/2 cup raisins or sultanas
# How-To Steps:
01 - Set oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
02 - Rinse short-grain rice under cold water until water runs clear, then drain thoroughly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together condensed milk, whole milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
04 - Add rinsed rice and, if desired, raisins to the milk mixture. Stir to combine evenly.
05 - Pour the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish, ensuring rice is distributed evenly throughout.
06 - Bake uncovered for 1 hour, stirring gently every 20 minutes to prevent sticking. Continue until the pudding is set with a lightly golden surface.
07 - Remove baking dish from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional cinnamon if preferred.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The creamy condensed milk brings an indulgent sweetness that feels like a hug in every bite.
- Baking creates a caramelized surface and pudding beneath that works just as well chilled as fresh from the oven.
02 -
- The first time I forgot to stir mid-bake, the rice clumped on the bottom—gentle, regular stirring is crucial for creaminess.
- Swapping whole milk for low-fat leaves you with a disappointingly thin pudding; richness matters here.
03 -
- Using freshly grated nutmeg with the cinnamon is a small step that adds real warmth.
- Pouring the condensed milk in a slow ribbon helps it blend smoothly with the milk—no lumps, just creaminess.
