Ingredients

If you want to stay true to the original recipe, though, these are the ingredients you'll need to add to your grocery list:

• Rice: This creamy rice pudding recipe starts with white rice cooked until tender.
• Milk: You'll need two cups of milk, divided.
• Sugar: The rice pudding is sweetened with white sugar.
• Egg: An egg adds moisture and helps bind the pudding together.
• Raisins: Raisins lend bursts of fruity flavor.
• Butter: Butter adds even more moisture and richness.
• Vanilla: A dash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor of the rice pudding.

How To Make Rice Pudding Step by Step

Here's a very brief overview of what you can expect when you make homemade rice pudding:

1. Cook the rice.
2. Cook the cooked rice, some of the milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat until thick.
3. Stir in the remaining milk, egg, and raisins. Cook for two more minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
5. You can freeze homemade rice pudding. Ladle the pudding into freeze-safe bags, leaving about an inch of space at the top to allow for expansion. Freeze flat for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave using the defrost setting.
