Makings of a Great, Easy Dessert
I’m not sure how I stumbled across this recipe, but I am so glad I did. It is super easy, tastes like a dream and has very simple ingredients. The original recipe appears here, but we eliminated most of the ingredients because we like our pudding pretty plain.
Crock Pot Caramel Rice Pudding
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked rice (cooked a day ahead if possible)
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients in the slow cooker and heat on low until rice absorbs most of the liquid. We like to stop it while it is a little “soupy” which makes it nicer when we reheat it later. If you cook it the whole way initially it can get a bit dry if you reheat it. It’s also delicious cold.
Using day old rice give you grains that don’t stick together. Leftover rice is fine. I have made it with newly cooked rice and it tastes fine, it just is clumpy.
I find my canned milk and sweetened condensed milk at discount stores for under $1 each which makes this recipe really reasonable – less than $3 for twelve or so servings. And very satisfying.
