Equipment

  • 1 6-7 quart slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup arborio rice
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Grease your crockpot with butter. Add all of the ingredients, except for the raisins and butter, and stir everything together.
  • Place the butter on top of the rice mixture, then place the lid on the slow cooker and set on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Stir the pudding after 2 hours, then again at 3 hours. If you'd like a thicker texture, let it cook for the remaining time. Once done, stir in the raisins, sprinkle with cinnamon, then allow to cool before serving.

Freeze for 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container. The texture of the rice pudding may change once frozen.
Cooking Tips
  • You can serve the rice pudding warm, but a lot of people will refrigerate it for an hour or so first and serve it cold.
  • Check the pudding at the 3 hour mark and give it a stir. If you want the pudding to be more creamy, let it cook for longer, until it thickens to the desired consistency.
  • The type of rice does make a difference, so don't substitute for a different one.
  • The pudding mixture can stick to the crockpot, so I recommend greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray beforehand.
  • If your rice pudding turned out too thick, you can add a bit of milk and stir until completely combined.
