I have fond memories of my mom whipping up a batch of rice pudding for dessert on busy weeknights. We dished up the creamy, rich pudding treat in bowls and enjoyed it at the table or on the couch while watching a movie. Unlike many other pudding recipes<\/a>, this rice pudding recipe relies on cooked rice as the base. When I was young, I found it impressive with every bite, but now, as an adult, I realize just how simple it is to make rice pudding for any occasion.<\/p>\n

What is rice pudding?<\/h2>\n

This pudding is a vintage dessert<\/a> that makes use of leftover rice. You can certainly use any type of rice<\/a> you have on hand in a recipe for rice pudding. However, depending on the type of rice you use, there will be small differences in consistency. Types of rice with more starch will result in a creamier, thicker texture because of how starch is released when it comes into contact with liquid and heat. Long grain white rice and jasmine rice are excellent options.<\/p>\n

The rice is then mixed with eggs, milk, sugar and spice. For the best consistency, our six-ingredient recipe shows how to cook rice pudding in the oven.<\/p>\n
