Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white rice (short-grain or medium-grain recommended)
- 4 cups milk (whole milk for best creaminess)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.
- Add the rinsed rice to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the milk and sweetened condensed milk, then stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Allow the pudding to rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.
Description
This rice pudding is luxuriously creamy with a gentle sweetness that complements the
tender rice perfectly. The condensed milk adds richness and depth, making this dessert
comforting, smooth, and ideal for enjoying on its own or with your favorite toppings.
Tips
- Stir every 30–45 minutes to achieve the creamiest texture.
- If the pudding becomes too thick, add a splash of warm milk before serving.
- Enhance flavor by adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg after cooking.
- Serve warm for classic comfort or chilled for a refreshing dessert.
Correction
- If the rice is undercooked, add ¼ cup milk and cook for an additional 20–30 minutes.
- If the pudding is too thin, cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes to thicken.
- Avoid using instant rice, as it may turn mushy.
