One of the first things I learned about my husband was that he loved rice pudding! This Instant Pot rice pudding recipe will make it much simpler to appease his cravings.

Rice pudding was a food I didn’t even know existed until I was an adult. But once I had it I was hooked. With the creamy rice texture, cinnamon flavor and raisin bursts of yummy sweetness, you can’t go wrong with this easy snack idea.

Now that hubby has a lactose intolerance I make sure to use a lactose-free milk. You could also use coconut milk or another dairy free milk for a vegan version.

Delicious Instant Pot Rice Pudding

1 cup Arborio rice
2 cups milk
1 cup water

2 tbsps cinnamon
1 tsp salt, or more to taste

How to Make Rice Pudding with the Instant Pot

Rinse the rice and set aside.

Place the butter in your instant pot and set to saute.

Once the butter is melted, add the rice and toast it for 1 minute.

Add in 1 cup of the milk, 1 cup water, cinnamon and salt. Seal and cool for 10 minutes on manual.

Quick release.

Mix the egg and remaining cup milk in a small bowl and then mix into the cooked rice. Place in the raisins if you are including them.

Cook on manual for an additional 3 minutes, quick release. Place in a bowl, garnish then serve.

I love adding some walnuts to my Instant Pot ricing pudding for a bit of crunch. Hubby prefers his simply with the raisins mixed in as do the kids. This sweet treat makes the perfect snack for a cold winter evening.
