We are so excited to be partnering with International Delight®  to bring you another fabulous recipe. I don’t know about you, but I love my coffee so I always have creamer in the house.

I have found this to be an amazing convenient ingredient in cooking and baking sweets. So, of course when I started thinking about rice pudding I thought of International Delight.

I remember my mom making rice pudding for us. Of course, as my mom was a penny pincher it was always with left over white rice from dinner a few nights earlier. If we didn’t have leftover rice there was no rice pudding. Which kinda stinks when you love rice pudding.

Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding

So what if you want a quick and easy rice pudding and you don’t have any left over rice? Well, that is exactly where I started. Have you ever had risotto? It is rich and creamy. It is made with an Italian short grain rice called Arborio.

The rice has a high starch content which leads to the creaminess of the risotto. So, I started thinking… What if I use Arborio rice in my rice pudding?

Well, the result is an amazing thick, rich and creamy flavorful rice pudding made with just 2 ingredients (and water and salt)!

It is a so easy to make, you literally dump it in a pot, let it cook and then stir for a few minutes.It is perfectly rich, creamy and delicious.

My husband, Chad, has been refusing to try the store bought rice pudding for years. But this recipe, he devoured!

Helpful Tips to make 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding:

  • Do not bring to a full rolling boil and then cover. It will boil over and you will be left with a nasty stove to clean. Don’t ask me how I know, just trust me on this one.
  •  Slow cooker method: Combine ingredients in a slow cooker (I used a 3 quart). Stir, cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 – 3 hours. It took 3 hours in my 3 quart round. Rice should be soft and pudding thick when it is ready.
  • The first time you prepare this in a slow cooker I recommend tasting a piece of rice after 1 hour 30 minutes. If it is not chewy yet cover it and let it cook 30 more minutes and check again. The more you stir the more the pudding will thicken. That said, about 15 minutes before the pudding is done remove cover and stir until pudding is thickened. 
  • If you don’t have coffee creamer you can substitute (in place of the creamer and water) 4-1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

Donna’s Notes

Do not bring to a full rolling boil and then cover. It will boil over and you will be left with a nasty stove to clean. Don’t ask me how I know, just trust me on this one.
We do not count water and salt when considering the number of ingredients.
If you don’t have coffee creamer you can substitute (in place of the creamer and water) 4-1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
SLOW COOKER METHOD
Combine ingredients in a slow cooker (I used a 3 quart). Stir, cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 – 3 hours. It took 3 hours in my 3 quart round. Rice should be soft and pudding thick when it is ready.

    We have made this several times in the slow cooker. We use vanilla caramel creamer. Very good!

  2. From my ‘old days’, my mother would make rice pudding in the traditional way. She would add raisins to the pudding mixture. I am going to try the above recipe with adding some raisins. It tastes good already.

  3. I made this recipe in slow cooker today following recipe as in article. Took 1- 1/2 hrs stirring after the first 60 minutes. I also added cinnamon at the end while stirring to finish. I will add raisins the next time I make this. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! I love rice pudding
