Homemade Rice Pudding (Creamy & Easy)
This creamy rice pudding with fruit compote is amazing, and everyone will love it. It's a naturally gluten-free dessert and takes a few simple ingredients. It´s super easy to make and pairs perfectly with fruit sauces, like plum compote that adds richness.
Ingredients
For the rice pudding
- 1 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
- 4 cups milk
- Orange peels
- Stick of cinnamon
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar (120g)
Instructions
For the rice pudding:
- In a deep saucepan, place the rice, milk, cinnamon stick, and the orange peels over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook the rice in the milk, stirring often, until it is almost ready. When it's almost ready, add the sugar and let it cook for about two minutes. If it is necessary, add a little more milk; it should be creamy.
- Let cool or serve immediately with the plum compote. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Notes
It's normal for rice pudding to absorb part of the liquid as it cools, and the texture becomes more compact. Add a little more milk and mix until it is creamy again.
Storing: Serve the rice pudding immediately, or let it cool at room temperature and place it covered in the refrigerator. It is always better to add the plum sauce at the moment of serving. The pudding will keep in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.
