If you have a lot of pre-cookedleftover rice, baking a cinnamon-scented rice pudding is a wonderful way to use it up. This easy rice pudding recipe is baked in the oven and made with milk, rice, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. It is decadent and creamy, and you can serve it either as a sweet breakfast or for dessert. Just mix and heat everything together on the stovetop, then stick it in the oven for about 25 minutes or so. Adding eggs and baking it in the oven turns it into a creamy, thickened pudding that you can eat warm or, later, cold right out of the fridge.

Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe (using Cooked Rice)

This recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free but because it calls for both eggs and milk, it's not vegan. However, for a dairy-free option, you can always swap out the milk for any non-dairy milk substitute, such as soy milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk.

Rice pudding is usually prepared with leftover cooked white rice, but you can use any rice you like or happen to have leftover (brown or basmati, for example), with one caveat. Don't use wild rice. It just won't cook up the same way.

The rice pudding was very good and not overly sweet. You can choose to bake it less for a creamy pudding or longer for a baked-custard-type pudding. Briefly cooking it on the stovetop means less time in the oven. I enjoyed it with a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of syrup. —Diana Rattray

Simple Leftover Rice Recipes

When I was a kid, my grandmother always took rice pudding to pot lucks. She usually did that so she could make it the day before and have it ready to go for Saturday afternoon or for Sunday after church.

Her rice pudding was so delicious. She baked it, and I remember it taking quite a while. She would cook the rice, then make the pudding and bake that for at least half an hour.

Sadly, I don't have her recipe. I tried to find it after she passed, but the recipes were divided. I'm not sure who got it, so I don't have her exact recipe.

I do remember that she would put it in a pan and put that pan inside a pan of water. It had eggs in it, so it was more of a custard.

I have made baked rice puddings, trying to get her recipe or as close to it as a I can. Usually when I want rice pudding, it's later in the day and I don't have time to cook rice and then bake it.

I do. I rinse my rice every time I use it to cook though. Rinsing rice takes the starch off of the surface of the rice. This helps the rice not get gummy as you cook it.

Ba's Best Rice Pudding Recipe

This rice pudding recipe is one of the first things I taught my kiddo how to make. With just a few simple ingredients you can turn leftover cooked rice into a comforting, totally satisfying pudding that can be eaten hot or cold.

I remember the first time we made it they remarked how it felt like magic. And you know what? Cooking kinda is magic. We’ll often blow a few kisses into the pot while the pudding is cooking to send the cozy vibes through the roof.

This recipe was tested by my 10-year-old, who has decided they’re the official recipe tester for this site. Many of my recipes are in my head so writing them down involves translating what I “just do” into specific instructions. I figure a solo run-through by a kid can only make those instructions more clear.

Leftover Rice Pudding Recipe: How To Make It

Since leftover rice can only be stored in the fridge for 24 hours, this is my favorite way to use up cooked rice. But if you don’t have any on hand you can also make white rice on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot. I will include instructions for both methods below.

Cook the rice and milk: In a medium pot over medium heat add the cooked rice, 2 cups of the milk, and the salt. Cook, stirring frequently until thick and creamy. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.

Add the remaining milk and temper the egg: Once your rice pudding is thick and creamy, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Let it warm up, then scoop about ½ cup of the rice pudding mixture into a medium bowl and add the beaten egg, whisking constantly. This is tempering the egg so that it doesn’t scramble when it’s added to the pot.

Add sugar: Pour in the sugar and stir well to combine. Continue cooking the pudding, stirring constantly, another 2 to 3 minutes so that the egg cooks through.

Add butter and vanilla: Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter and vanilla extract into the pudding and mix until the butter has melted.

Cool: Let the pudding rest for 5-10 minutes, giving it time to cool and also giving the rice time to absorb more liquid.

Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

The ratios I use are different from the 1:1 method on many sites. Maybe it’s just the way I like my rice but I find the method below makes fluffy, tender white rice every time. Since it works, I see no reason to change it. I do not rinse my rice before cooking.

You can store rice pudding in the fridge for 2-3 days. I prefer to store it in small mason jars. Once the pudding has been poured into the jars, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, then allow to come to room temperature before covering with a mason jar lid
