Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • dash of salt
  • 1 cup white rice (I use regular long grain. Jasmine rice works well too.)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups milk divided (2% or whole is best)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • cinnamon

Instructions

  • To the Instant Pot, add water, salt, and rice (in that order.) Do not stir.
  • Lock the lid, turn the knob to Sealing, and cook on Manual High pressure for 3 minutes. Allow a 10 minute natural pressure release, then release the rest of the pressure.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork, then add sugar and stir to combine.
  • Set the Instant Pot to normal Saute, then add 1 1/2 cups milk and stir.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, add the remaining 1/2 cup milk, then crack two eggs into the milk and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the rice mixture while whisking or stirring rapidly. 
  • Cook on low Saute for about 5 minutes or until thick (or desired consistency.) Turn off the heat, add the vanilla bean paste (regular vanilla is ok), butter, and cream. Enjoy with a sprinkle of cinnamon!

Notes

  • For a dairy free alternative, omit butter/cream/milk and use a non-dairy substitute such as coconut or almond milk! Try my dairy free coconut rice pudding recipe, too!
  • You can add 1/2 cup of raisins to this recipe, if you like. Add them to the rice pudding when you add the first 1 1/2 cups of milk.
