Delicious Condensed Milk Rice Pudding (Printer-Friendly)

Creamy baked rice pudding with condensed milk, cinnamon and optional raisins—golden top, perfect warm or chilled.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Grains

01 - 3/4 cup uncooked short-grain rice

→ Dairy & Liquids

02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 3 cups whole milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Sweeteners & Flavorings

05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for sprinkling
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Optional

09 - 1/2 cup raisins or sultanas

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
02 - Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly integrated.
04 - Fold the rinsed rice and optional raisins into the milk mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, stirring gently for uniform distribution.
05 - Bake uncovered for 1 hour, gently stirring every 20 minutes to redistribute the rice, until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
06 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with extra ground cinnamon if desired.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • The condensed milk brings a lovely richness and subtle caramel note that transforms everyday rice pudding into a treat worth sharing.
  • It’s as good cold out of the fridge as it is warm, which means you’re never more than a quick scoop away from comfort dessert.
02 -
  • Skipping the mid-bake stirring leads to a dense bottom layer—trust me, you really want to remember this step.
  • A splash of extra milk when reheating revives the pudding to its original silkiness.
03 -
  • Use a wide, shallow baking dish for the perfect creamy-to-caramelized ratio in every scoop.
  • If you love a firmer top, stick the dish under the broiler for 1 minute at the end (but watch it closely!).
