    🥘 Ingredients

    Rice Pudding Ingredients
    • Uncooked Rice - I suggest using a type similar to risotto rice because otherwise, the rice pudding will be too dry. You can also find specific types of rice (Arborio rice - round grain rice) in your local grocery store.
    • Water
    • Rice milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or almond milk
    • Whole milk - If you would rather make your breakfast vegan, use twice as much rice or almond milk instead of cow's milk.
    • Ground vanilla - this can also be replaced by ground cinnamon if you want to add a touch of Christmas.
    • Nut Butter / Nut-purée - You can use whatever kind of nut-purée that you fancy, such as cashew purée, hazelnut purée, or almond purée.
    • Dried fruit - we particularly love to use a mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. We also use dried apple slices, mangoes, apricots, or sultanas as an alternative.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions - How to make Rice Pudding

    Pour all the liquid ingredients (water, rice milk, whole milk, along with the rice and the ground vanilla) into a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.

    Add the ground vanilla.
    add ground vanilla
    Add the rice.
    add rice

    Then reduce to medium heat to allow the rice to simmer away gently. Continue to stir frequently to prevent the rice pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan and getting burnt.

    Bring the ingredients to a boil.

    With time, the pudding rice will thicken.

    With time, the pudding rice will thicken, and you can reduce the heat gradually.

    Towards the end of the cooking time, the consistency of the rice pudding will be mushy. At this point, you stir in a teaspoon of nut puree and the dried fruit.

    Take the rice pudding off the heat and stir again to ensure that the fruit and puree are well mixed in.

    Serve the rice pudding hot, in a cereal bowl, and top it with fresh fruit or fruit purée if you like. Enjoy!

    🥜 Substitutions

    To make this old-fashioned rice pudding vegan, you can replace the dairy with rice, almond, or soy milk.

    As far as the nut purée is concerned, go with whatever you like. We've tried many variations, and our favorites were hazelnut and almond purée.

    You can also replace the nut mus with maple syrup or honey.

    🍽 Equipment

    • Measuring cup
    • Medium Saucepan
    • Wooden spoon
    • Cereal bowl for serving

    🌡 Storage

    The rice pudding can be enjoyed both freshly prepared and warm, but it is also excellent when served cold.

    💭 Top tip

    The rewarding aspect of this breakfast is that you won't have to hover over the stove the whole time. Just glance at it at regular intervals and stir in between. I usually make use of this time to clear out the dishwasher and get dressed for my day.


    It's a good idea to use freeze-dried fruit to stir into the rice pudding and fresh fruit for the garnish.

    Dried fruits will help you with being able to make a variety of rice pudding breakfasts since they don't go off as quickly as fresh.

    Additionally, fresh fruits contain a lot of water, which can thin your rice pudding and make it runny, resulting in a less delicious taste.

    If you fancy using dried fruits with a chewy texture such as mangoes, sultanas, apricots, and dried apples, add them right at the start and cook them with the rice. It is also a good idea to cut them into small pieces.

    With this berry mix, you can also prepare a delicious berry cake. Give it a try!

    🙋🏻 FAQ

    What rice should you use?

    Round grain rice (Arborio rice) is best for preparing rice pudding.
