Jump to recipe ↓

Rice Pudding is a great dessert that can be made with leftover rice. There are so many variety rice dishes made with leftover rice in India. In western countries, rice pudding is one tasty dish made with leftover rice. 

Rce Pudding is made mainly in 2 ways. In one method cooked rice is simmered with milk, sugar and other flavouring ingredients. It is quite similar to our Indian Kheer. The second one is the Baked Rice Pudding, where cooked rice is mixed in a custard prepared with eggs, milk and baked until set. I have shared this variation below. Cooked Rice Pudding tastes good either warm or cold. I personally prefer to serve it warm. Do give it a try.

Recipe for Rice Pudding

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• Cooked rice - 1.5 cup
• Eggs - 3 (beaten)
• Milk - 2 1/2 cups (or use coconut milk)
• Sugar - 3/4 cup 
• Salt - a pinch (optional)
• Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
• Lemon Zest - 1 tsp (optional)
• Raisins & Cashews - 1/2 cup 
• Nutmeg powder- 1/2 tsp
• Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp 

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2. Pour into a buttered baking dish. I have used a 7" round cake pan.
3. Place the baking dish in a big baking pan filled with water.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the oven preheated to 350 degrees.
5. Check if the pudding is set by inserting a clean knife in the center. The pudding is done if the knife comes out clean with nothing sticking to it. If not, keep it in the oven for another 5 - 10 minutes and check.
6. Serve warm or cold. Some whipped cream added on top while serving will be good.

Tips

• The same recipe can be done in a pressure cooker too. Pour water in the cooker. Take the mixed ingredients in a bowl and cover with aluminium foil. Do not put the whistle. Steam for about 45 minutes till the pudding is set.
• To give a south indian touch, add coconut milk instead of milk.

Hello,
Can this recipe be doubled? If so, does it change the about of time needed in the oven?
thank you

Hi Carol, Yes you can double the recipe. The time in the oven will increase. I am not able to tell you the exact time as I haven't tried it. I guess it must take about an hour  or so. Just cook it until the pudding sets and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
