Perfectly creamy, super delicious, and easy to make. This rice pudding is the best ever rice pudding you’ll ever make! Do not be intimated because this is pretty simple to whip up, and those extra easy steps are worth it!
All you need is to be consistent for the best results! I recommend using short or medium-grain rice for a creamier pudding. If desired, serve this with sprinkles of cinnamon or nutmeg.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 c. uncooked white rice – medium grain
4 c. whole milk – more if needed
1/3 c. white sugar
1 tbsp butter
2 large egg yolks
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
2/3 c. heavy whipping cream
1/2 c. golden raisins (or regular raisins) – Optional
1/8 tsp salt
HOW TO MAKE RICE PUDDING
Step 1: With cold water, rinse a large saucepan but do not dry. Set the pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Then, pour in the milk. Heat the milk while stirring constantly until just boiling. Make sure to watch the milk closely.
Step 2: When the milk boils, whisk in the rice. Constantly stir until the mixture returns to a boil.
Step 3: Adjust the heat to a shade higher than low and let the mixture gently simmer for about 30 minutes, whisking every 5 to 10 minutes. Do not remove the skin that will form on top of the mixture, instead just stir it back in.
Step 4: In the meantime, place the heavy cream, sugar, yolks, vanilla, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Stir well until blended and set aside.
Step 5: Continue to simmer once the rice has simmered for 30 minutes, stirring down every 2 to 3 minutes until the rice is tender.
