Yummy! This is great tasting and so easy. I used cooked brown rice instead of white rice and substituted coconut milk for evaporated. I can't wait for my family to try it!

family favorite

CHARLENE FETTERLY from EASLEY, SC

This was better than I expected! I didn't have any nutmeg, so I used cinnamon instead. Next time I don't think I'll use quite as much as it turned the pudding brown. Tastes like the kind baked in the oven without all the work! I'll make this again.
Yummy...

SHELLY IBRAHIM from MISSISSAUGA, ON

This is the perfect dessert for a cold day. I added chopped almonds and dried cheeries and it was very good.

Angie Miller from WARNER ROBINS, GA

The other night I was going through my very best bakers recipes, and I found this Creamy Rice Pudding recipe, I was so impressed about how easy it was, so I went into the kitchen and made it. It was so easy, but I cooked it a little too long, so I added some International Delight coffee creamer, flavor French Vanilla, and a little bit more milk. My children were very impressed with it, said it wasn't like the one that I have always cooked but they liked it very much. I made another one yesterday and took it to my neighbor who just had surgery, she called me this morning and told me how much she enjoyed the rice pudding. I think I will keep this recipe because it's so easy and good. Thanks for sharing...

VERY GOOD! MY HUSBAND LIKES IT WITH TAPICOIA, THE WAY HIS GRANDMOTHER MADE IT. (NO WAY TO GET HER RECIPE.) I MADE A BOX OF TAPICOIA PUDDING & MIXED THEM TOGETHER WHEN BOTH WERE DONE. EXCELLENT! AND VERY CREAMY.

M. Hoover from CHAMBERSBURG, PA

I found for rice pudding that my husband likes. Other ones I've tried were a little on the dry side, but not this one! It's really creamy! My husband thought I bought in deli at the grocery store. I had one over on him. I'll be making this one quite often!!! I know I'll be making it for holidays. It's his favorite pudding.

Very "creamy" indead

Edora Dorko from WICHITA FALLS, TX

This was easy, didn't ask for any ingredients I didn't have, and didn't take long. I used instant brown rice instead of white rice. I think the eggs are what make it so creamy.

HMMMMM

Ms. Balschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

We used to buy incredible RICE PUDDING from a deli. An older German couple ran it and made everythingon premises. They have long since retired and I MISS their rice pudding. I have tried MANY recipes and all were just okay. This is the first recipe that comes close to my memories. It was so good and the cherries were perfect in it. HOORAY!
Wow

Yahaira Sibert from TAMPA, FL

I love this recipe! I wasn't sure how it was going to come out but it is perfect and so easy. The perfect amount of sweet. The only thing I changed was the nutmeg with cinnamon instead.
Rice cooker method

Just like Grandma's

SHAUNA LONG from GURNEE, IL

I had been looking for a good rice pudding recipe. My grandma made the best to me and this reminded me of hers. I made a couple of minor adjustments though. I added maybe 1/8 tsp almond extract with the vanilla and used only 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I ate it warm with a dollop of whip cream. It was so flavorful with just a hint of almond. I loved it.
It is a keeper

Joan Becklund from DEER RIVER, MN

I made this for my hubby. It is a keeper, I will make this one again, Thank You

Creamy Rice Pudding

MARGARET FODOR from Westland, MI

I made this recipe because my 85 year old mother loves rice pudding, but because she doesn't like the taste of nutmeg I substituted cinnamon. She said it tasted much like the rice pudding her mother used to make when she was a little girl.
Different cooking method

saundra koontz from INDIANAPOLIS, IN

I baked this in the oven in a water bath and it was wonderful,very custardy.

ROBIN COLEMAN from TUCKERTON, NJ

I made this recipe, using a sprinkling of nutmeg and some cinnamon. We ate it warm, with ready whip. It was easy to make, and yummy. There isn't any left over!
CREAMY RICE PUDDING

MARY STEFENACK from WHITE HAVEN, PA

MY HUSBAND LOVES RICE PUDDING, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD ANY LUCK MAKING IT. MINE WAS ALWAYS TOO DRY, TOO WET. NOT NOW...THIS IS SO EASY AND SO GOOD. I USED DRIED CRANBERRIES INSTEAD IF RAISINS FOR A CHANGE AND ONLY 1/4 TSP NUTMEG AND 1 TSP OF CINNAMON. ALSO I TOPPED IT WITH CINNAMON SUGAR
Good basic recipe for rice pudding

Laura Wesner from Jacksonville, FL

I made this last night and it was very good. The few things I did differently was I substituted cinnamon for nutmeg, as I prefer the taste of cinnamon. I added a dollop of whipped cream on top with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top. I also used 1/4 cup of raisons versus the 1/2 cup, as not all family members like raisins. I used a smaller amount, instead of eliminating them all together, basically for added texture and color. Next time I make this I will double the recipe as the 4 of us polished this off in one sitting. It was very tasty!

Teresa Waldrop from HIGHLAND VILLAGE, TX

Great for a sweet tooth

Loved this! I didn't put in the fruit though. I served it with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, which I thought was a perfect match. It's a great comfort food on a lonely night, curled up in front of a fire.
