How to make an easy rice pudding recipe with cooked rice on the stove top. This dessert is delicious and creamy without using condensed milk.

When I was a kid, my grandmother always took rice pudding to pot lucks. She usually did that so she could make it the day before and have it ready to go for Saturday afternoon or for Sunday after church.

Her rice pudding was so delicious. She baked it, and I remember it taking quite a while. She would cook the rice, then make the pudding and bake that for at least half an hour.

Sadly, I don't have her recipe. I tried to find it after she passed, but the recipes were divided. I'm not sure who got it, so I don't have her exact recipe.

I do remember that she would put it in a pan and put that pan inside a pan of water. It had eggs in it, so it was more of a custard.

It was delicious.

I have made baked rice puddings, trying to get her recipe or as close to it as a I can. Usually when I want rice pudding, it's later in the day and I don't have time to cook rice and then bake it.

Now I made this easy rice pudding recipe with cooked rice on the stove top.

A few weeks ago, I shared how to cook perfect Instant Pot rice. This is the only way I make my rice now because it turns out so fluffy and tastes so much better. It's also easier because I don't have to watch it on the stove top.

When I make rice for dinner, I make extra to make this easy rice pudding recipe with cooked rice. I put it in the fridge until I'm ready to use it, and that makes this recipe even quicker.

I like to eat this stovetop rice pudding slightly warm, but it's delicious cold, too. My kids don't like rice pudding, so I put leftovers in the fridge to eat over the next few days.

I use my homemade vanilla extract recipe in this recipe. It tastes so much better than what you buy in the stores. It takes a few weeks to make, so feel free to use store bought while yours steeps. I do recommend using real vanilla extract and not an imitation one.

How Do You make Rice Pudding From Scratch?

There are two ways to make rice pudding from scratch. One is this easy stove top rice pudding recipe where you heat the ingredients on the stove.

The other is baked. The baked rice pudding is very yummy, but it takes longer. You also need to set a pan inside another pain with water in it. It's kind of tricky to get in and out of the oven without splashing.

What Rice is Best for Rice Pudding?

I use long grain white rice for my easy rice pudding recipe. I use regular rice and not the quick cooking rice.

You add the rice cooked, so you could use quick cooking minute rice I suppose.

You can also used cooked brown rice to make stovetop rice pudding.

Do You Rinse Rice for Rice Pudding?

I do. I rinse my rice every time I use it to cook though. Rinsing rice takes the starch off of the surface of the rice. This helps the rice not get gummy as you cook it.

How Long Does Homemade Rice Pudding Last?

This easy stovetop rice pudding will last about three to four days in the fridge. However, it's so good, it probably won't last that long!
