Slow Cooker Rice Pudding Recipe | Scottish Mum (1)

I’ve always wondered how to make rice pudding in a slow cooker. The slow cooker recipes I had come across all seemed to look very sweet, so I reduced the sugar in mine compared to most people, and I added my favourite cinnamon to the mix. You need to use the proper rice pudding rice – if that makes sense. It is shorter and dumpier than our regular meal accompaniment rice. Short grain rice has the benefit of more starch which makes the pudding thicker, and supermarkets often sell it as pudding rice.

With this recipe, it’s all cooked in the pot, so there is no need to cook the rice separately. My mother was here when pudding was served, and although the rest of us all ate our rice pudding from the slow cooker, she wanted hers browned in the oven.

Homemade rice pudding can be as creamy or as plain as you choose. Just replace some of the milk with condensed milk or cream if you like your slow cooker puddings extra creamy.

Serving hot or cold, rice pudding is a very versatile dish. To add the healthy touch to the dessert, just top it with some fruit to make the most of it.

      Hi, where are you Stephanie? In the UK, most supermarkets store pudding rice, usually with the baking goods rather than the rice. If you can’t find that, possibly short grain rice might work. I think pudding rice is slightly more starchy.

    Hi Scotish Mum. In addition to my previous comment I meant the size of the slow cooker pot. Don’t you just hate the auto correction.

      The pot I used for this recipe isn’t terribly big. I think it’s a 3.5 litre one.

  9. Thanks for sharing this. I made it yesterday for my 2-year-old and 8-month-old but left out the sugar completely and chucked in some mashed bananas and strawberries at the end. One of the easiest things I have ever made but works so well! I have frozen lots in little pots.In response to an earlier comment, I have frozen oven-baked rice pudding before with no problems, I cannot imagine this would be any different. I will see when I get it out next week! Hope that helps.

      I have no idea how well that would turn out. Anything with milk or cream in it, as the possibility of curdling when it’s reheated, so it would be a try it and see I think. I just don’t know if it would be possible to freeze.
