Easy Rice Pudding

The Easiest Rice Pudding Recipe

There are so many ways to make this delicious and quick dessert that it’s sure to become a household favorite. Not only does it come in an individual size for when you’re craving something sweet, but it’s versatile enough for everyone to make it their own. Get creative by using different pudding flavors and add-ins, such as dried cranberries or dates, granola or trail mix, coconut, nuts, any type of chocolate chips (milk, dark, semi-sweet or white) or sweet morsels and crushed cookies.

If you’re feeling fancy, make this into an impressive parfait. In a parfait glass, place half of your favorite flavor of pudding cup. Then, add warm Minute® Ready to Serve White Rice followed by your favorite add-ins. Finish with the rest of the pudding and a final garnish of chocolate, nuts, cinnamon, or whichever add-in you prefer.

Use any combination of add-ins to wow the crowd at the next school bake sale or birthday party. Or, just make this treat for yourself at work or school when you’re craving something quick and easy without much cleanup.

Lighten Up

For a lighter dessert with more whole-grain goodness, use Minute® Ready to Serve Brown Rice, a sugar-free flavored pudding cup and chopped almonds or walnuts. Top with seasonal fruit of your choice, such as strawberries or raspberries, to add a bit of color, vitamins and a refreshing touch of sweetness.
