Slow Cooker Rice Pudding

Creamy, comforting, proper old-fashioned rice pudding. Set it and forget it for the most nostalgic dessert.

Ingredients

• 150g pudding rice
• 1 litre whole milk
• 75g caster sugar
• 30g butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of ground nutmeg
• Jam to serve

Method

1. Grease the slow cooker insert with a little butter.
2. Add the rice, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, and nutmeg.
3. Stir well.
4. Cook on Low for 3-4 hours, stirring once halfway if possible.
5. It's ready when the rice is soft and creamy.
6. Serve with a dollop of jam.

Tips

Use pudding rice, not basmati or long grain — it’s starchier and creates that classic creamy texture.
