Old-Fashioned Creamy Rice Pudding

Tips & Variations

• Milk substitute: For extra richness, you can replace part of the milk with half-and-half or heavy cream. For a lighter version, use 2% milk (though it may be less creamy).
• Rice options: Long-grain white rice gives the best texture, but jasmine rice or medium grain can be used for a slightly different consistency. Avoid quick-cooking or instant rice.
• Add-ins: Stir in a handful of golden raisins, chopped dried apricots, or toasted nuts for texture and flavor variety.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to loosen the texture.
