Crockpot Rice Pudding

This crockpot rice pudding is rich, creamy, and full of cozy flavor — the perfect set-it-and-forget-it dessert for chilly days and holiday gatherings. Made with simple ingredients like milk, sugar, cinnamon, and instant rice, it slowly transforms into a warm, comforting pudding that feels like a hug in a bowl. Serve it warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chilled straight from the fridge — either way, it’s pure comfort food magic.

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups instant rice
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup raisins optional add-in/garnish
  • Extra cinnamon optional garnish
  • Cinnamon sticks optional garnish

Instructions

  • Prep the crockpot: Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick spray to make cleanup easy later.
  • Add the ingredients: Pour everything into the crockpot and give it a good stir so the rice, milk, sugar, and spices are well combined.
  • Let it cook: Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, stirring now and then. It’s ready when the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to your liking — it’ll continue to thicken slightly as it cools, too.
  • Serve and enjoy: Spoon it into bowls and garnish with a little cinnamon, a few raisins, or even a cinnamon stick for that cozy homemade touch. Serve warm for the ultimate comfort dessert.
