Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 cup Minute® White Rice
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • slivered almonds (optional)
  • fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • whipped topping (optional)

Instructions

  • This delicious Baked Rice Pudding is a simple yet elegant dessert to share at your next family gathering or get-together. Use our Minute® Instant White Rice to cut down on cook time but not on flavor!

    Step 1

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

    Step 2

  • Combine the milk, rice, raisins and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.

    Step 3

  • Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Step 4

  • Whisk eggs, vanilla and nutmeg in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Slowly stir in hot rice mixture; mix well.

    Step 5

  • Place casserole dish into a larger oven-safe dish; Pour enough very hot tap water into dish to reach 1/3 up the side of casserole dish. Be careful not to let any water spill into the rice pudding.

    Step 6

  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the top of the pudding is lightly browned around the edges and the center is set when lightly touched.

    Step 7

  • Allow to cool and garnish with almonds, mint leaves and whipped topping, if using.

    Recipe Tip

    If desired, you can omit the raisins in this dish. If you do, make sure to decrease the milk to only 2 1/2 cups and to increase the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup.

    If you’re not a fan of nutmeg, feel free to sub out the nutmeg for cinnamon.

Simple Rice Pudding from Scratch

We love rice pudding because of its vast versatility. You can use a wide variety of added ingredients to make it your own and you can cook it on the stove, in the oven and even, in the microwave! This traditional recipe made in the oven gets you away from the stove, while still providing the same flavors you remember from grandma’s recipe.

If you don’t have a casserole dish on-hand and you’re short on time, try our Easy Rice Pudding and work your way up to the recipe from scratch.

Our Minute® Instant White Rice works wonders here, as it perfectly absorbs the warm milk infused with sugar, vanilla and raisins with just a pinch of salt.

If you want to try another classic dish with a more savory touch, grab another box of white rice and try this Chicken and Rice Casserole or alternatively this Red Beans and Rice Instant Pot. While you’re at it why not out this Easy Egg Fried Rice Recipe. If you’re in the mood for something with more of a Latin American flavor, learn how to make one of our Mexican rice recipes.
