Rice Pudding with Condensed Milk - Easy No-Bake Recipe

Ingredients

• 150 grams (5.3oz) short-grain rice (like risotto (Arborio), pudding rice or medium-grain rice like pilau rice.)
• 1 litre (4 1/4 US cups) boiling water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 300 grams (10.5oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 6 tablespoons double cream (or single/whipping cream.)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the rice, boiling water and salt to a large saucepan.

2. 2

   Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the rice is tender and most of the water has evaporated. The rice should be soft before you add the sweetened condensed milk.

3. 3

   Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, cream and vanilla until well combined.

4. 4

   Bring back to a gentle simmer, then cook over low heat, stirring often, until creamy and thickened. This can take 8–20 minutes, depending on your rice, pan, heat and how much condensed milk you use.Don't worry if it looks thin at first - just keep simmering and stirring, it will thicken up.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat when the pudding is still slightly looser than you want, as it will thicken as it cools.

6. 6

   Serve warm, or leave to cool and chill for later. If serving chilled, stir in a splash of milk or cream before serving if it has thickened too much.
