Everyone enjoys their rice pudding a little bit differently, whether it has a skin, is dry or creamy, sweet or spicy. Personally, I like mine to be creamy, to form a little bit of a skin if wanted and I usually like to serve it with something sweet (not that it needs it) but I do also get a hankering for cinnamon every now and then.
It’s so warming and comforting as a dessert, it’s not fussy but it is delicious. And I often find that it is overlooked when considering desserts but people are thrilled and feel quite nostalgic when they see it listed on a menu or even better, hear that you’ve made some! Reminiscing about younger years and fond memories.
I wanted to share this slow cooker rice pudding recipe with you because, I think many of us can be intimidated by cooking rice based dishes, there’s always a bit of second guessing and honestly, it tastes just as good but you don’t have to stand over a pan and you can get on with other things as it cooks.
As always, we like to make easy recipes for any level of cooking and this one is a case of chucking everything in and giving it a stir every now and then. It could not be more simple and always receives compliments!
