Easy Homemade Instant Pot Rice Pudding
Learn how to make delicious Instant Pot rice pudding without sweetened condensed milk or raisins.
This easy recipe is made with basic ingredients you may already have on hand – long grain rice, eggs, sugar, milk, oil and vanilla.
Store bought rice pudding is nice, but homemade is a special treat that is surprisingly easy to make at home in pressure cooker.
Kids and adults will enjoy this warm dessert that is especially nice on a chilly Fall or Winter evening.
This may end up becoming one of your favorite easy family recipes.
Is This An Easy Recipe To Make?
Yes!
You do need to know how to use your Instant Pot safely, but the recipe is easy.
It is a simple enough recipe that you can easily make while cooking other dishes for your meal, since you will have some “free time” while the Instant Pot is doing its thing.
Is This a Vegan or Vegetarian Recipe?
The Instant Pot dessert is vegetarian, but isn’t vegan.
There is both milk and egg in the recipe as written.
A dairy-free milk can be used in the recipe for those who are lactose intolerant, but it isn’t vegan due to the eggs.
Is Rice Pudding Good Without Sweetened Condensed Milk?
Yes.
This rice pudding recipe is delicious and has a creamy consistency, when you make it without sweetened condensed milk.
I used sweetened condensed milk for many recipes, but it isn’t a staple ingredient that I always have stocked in my pantry.
This recipe calls for milk and sugar instead of sweetened condensed milk and it tastes great.
Those ingredients work well for this recipe and are often on hand at home.
They are also a budget friendly option, since milk and sugar cost less than a can of sweetened condensed milk.
What About Raisins in Rice Pudding?
Nope. Not for me.
I love snacking on raisins, but do not like them in rice pudding.
If you want raisins, feel free to add them.
However, I will not join you in eating rice pudding with raisins.
Should Rice Pudding Be Served Warm?
This white rice dessert recipe is fantastic, when you serve it warm.
It yields 4 to 6 servings, so is a nice amount for a family dessert the same day you make it.
If you have leftovers or just prefer it chilled, you can refrigerate it.
However, fresh and warm is my favorite way to eat rice pudding.
What Are Good Toppings For Instant Pot Rice Pudding?
The creamy dessert tastes great as is without any garnish, but toppings can be a nice addition.
A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg are pretty and add some nice flavor to the dessert.
