The Best Homemade Rice Pudding. Leftover Rice Makes The Best Rice Pudding. Just like Grandma's

Don't let that leftover rice go to waste. Unexpected guests show up and need to make a quick delightful dessert? Rice pudding is the way to go. Easy, quick and simply delish. This will transport you back to Grandma's kitchen and licking the spoon.

I keep coming back to this video and thought it'd be handy to have this written up and printed. I modified the instructions very slightly (I don't like raisins in my pudding, so listed them as optional). Hope it helps! Thanks Mike for a great comfort food recipe!
Leftover Rice Pudding
Ingredients
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1.5 cups cooked rice
• 0.33 cup sugar
• 4 black cardamon pods (green will also work)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional - 0.33 cup raisins
• 1 egg, beaten
• Cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
1. Add 1.5 cups milk to saucepan. Add rice, sugar, cardamon, and salt.
2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for about 15 to 20 minutes. Mixture will thicken as rice absorbs the milk.
3. While mixture is heating, prepare remaining milk by adding beaten egg and mixing
4. When only a few minutes remaining, remove cardamon pods and add (optional) raisins.
5. Add a few tablespoons of the hot mixture to the cold milk-egg mixture and stir. This will prevent the egg from coagulating when added to the saucepan.
6. Add the tempered milk-egg mixture to the saucepan and stir.
7. Sprinkle in cinnamon, to taste.
8. Cook, stirring constantly, for final 2 minutes.
9. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla.
10. Server warm or cold.

Thanks so much

I made it today, and it was delicious. I did have to add an additional 1/3 cup of rice before it thickened.

OMG, here it is. I knew if I kept scrolling, (which I don’t want to say how long) I’d find the easy, stovetop recipe I was looking for. With all the components I was looking for. “EGG” butter, whole milk. And BAM!! I have a delicious labor intensive rice pudding recipe. But I needed something quick for leftover rice. I was too lazy to dig the cardamon pods out of the back of the cupboard, and I tempered my egg. But it’s creamy, beautiful with the egg and vanilla and butter. I can’t wait for it to cook. THANK YOU!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

After 20 years in the Navy, I came to love their rice pudding, often set out at mid-rats. Last night I made your recipe using Silk Nearly Milk (1-1/2 cups) and Silk Heavy Cream (the final 1/2 cup) because I’ve become terribly lactose-intolerant. It tastes WONDERFUL and I want to thank you, my Navy mate.
