Making this a great last-minute option when you need a dessert but don’t have the time or ingredients to create something more intricate.
How to make this easy vanilla rice pudding recipe
Like I mentioned above, it’s super easy, and you only need five ingredients along with a casserole or ovenproof dish to make this.
Ingredients
- Milk
- Butter
- Castor Sugar or granulated sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- White Rice
- Cinnamon Powder or Sugar (optional)
Method
Pre-heat your fan-forced oven to 180°C or 200°C if you have a conventional oven.
Add the milk, caster sugar, butter or margarine, and vanilla extract in an ovenproof dish.
Gently stir with a fork, then add the rice and stir again.
Place on the centre rack of your oven to bake. Stirring after the first 30 minutes and then after every 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
Tip: if you find all your liquid is gone and your rice is still not tender, you can add an extra half cup of milk to allow more cook time.
This will take an hour and a half to two hours to cook, depending on your oven.
Note: try not to let your milk cook away entirely, or it will dry out the rice. If the liquid is gone from the dish, but your pudding is still wet, and your rice is cooked through, it is ready to serve.
Serve into bowls, and if you like cinnamon, you can sprinkle some powder or sugar over the top of your vanilla rice pudding once in a bowl.
You can even serve this with fresh berries or boiled green apples as well.
