Slow Cooker Caramel Rice Pudding

  • 8

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1 Spray inside of 2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.

2 Mix all ingredients except sugar and cinnamon in cooker.
3 Cover and cook on low heat setting 3 to 4 hours or until liquid is absorbed. Stir pudding.

4 Sprinkle pudding with sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

The sweetened condensed milk caramelizes during the long, slow cooking to give this rice pudding a pleasant caramel flavor and rich beige color.

Save your fresh milk for cereal. Evaporated milk and condensed milk make this a smooth, creamy pudding because they don't break down and separate like fresh milk would during the long cooking time.

This all-time favorite comfort food lends itself to a little flavor variety. Try adding chopped dried apricots, sweetened dried cherries or dried cranberries in place of the raisins.
