Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding is so creamy with the perfect texture and sweetness. Only a handful of ingredients and a little patience are needed to make this old time favorite dessert.
This Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding tastes just like the KozyShack Rice Pudding I like to buy at the grocery store, only better since it is made from all natural ingredients. This is a stove-top version with just the right amount of sweetness. Only 1/2 cup of sugar is added and most of the sweetness comes from the milk cooking down.
It takes a minimum of 50 minutes to get the thickness and texture right. You’ll know it’s done when it’s about the consistency of yogurt. It will thicken up more as it cools, but you stir in a little more milk just before serving to loosen it up some.
No need to go out and buy a bag of short grain or medium grain rice. This Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding cooks prefectly with long grain rice.
Only 5 ingredients needed to make this amazing dessert: milk, sugar, salt, long grain rice, and vanilla extract.
The key to this rice pudding is a very high ratio of milk (a full 6 cups) to rice (just 1/2 cup). You may think when you start that there’s no way it will thicken up enough but it magically does.
This Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding has just the right amount of vanilla fllavor and you can sprinkle some cinnamon on top for extra flavor if you wish or add raisins if that’s your jam.
If you’re as big a fan of rice pudding as I am, be sure to try this Bananas Foster Rice Pudding and Slow Cooker Rice Pudding.

Great insights on paint protection! I’ve been researching Paint Protection Film India, and quality really matters. Recently I came across UltrashieldX, which seems like a reliable option for long-term protection.
This recipe looks absolutely delicious! I love that it uses just a handful of simple ingredients to create such a rich and creamy dessert. The tip about cooking it slowly and stirring in the extra milk before serving is especially helpful. It reminds me of the comforting homemade rice pudding my family used to make. I can’t wait to try this recipe with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Thanks for sharing such a classic recipe! Prenatal Yoga classes online

This recipe was very moist. Too moist. I doubled the recipe but I started out with 10 cups of milk instead of 11 before adding the ‘before serve’ milk, but it never really thickened. I cooked it longer to reduce the milk and ended up breading down the rice so much it didn’t resemble the rice pudding I was going for. Tasted great, but the consistency was wrong.
Delicious!!! I love Kozy shack too, and homemade reminds me of how my mom made it. This recipe is the best of both worlds! Thank you!
