The Baked Rice Pudding of my childhood.

My mom used to make this often, always loaded with raisins and sprinkled generously with cinnamon. It's about the most budget-friendly, cozy dessert you can make–perfect for chilly nights when you want something sweet and satisfying using just pantry staples.

I love it more than other types of rice pudding made on the stove (or similar to arroz con leche) because it bakes into more of a custard type of texture.

If you love old-fashioned desserts try our Banana Pudding, Peach Cobbler, Fresh Apple Cake, Bread Pudding, and Apple Crisp!

How to make old fashioned rice pudding:

Beating eggs and sugar in a bowl.  Slowly mix in milk and cream.  Add vanilla, cinnamon, rice, and raisins and stir to combine.  Pour into a casserole dish and place the dish in a larger pan filled with an inch of water, to create a cater bath (this helps make a creamy custard texture).

Bake for about 45-55 minutes, or until just slightly jiggly in the center.

Homemade rice pudding only takes a few minutes to throw together then it bakes to a delicious custard consistency. It's a family favorite and has been for generations!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar together. Slowly pour in the milk and cream and mix well. 
    4 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 3 cups milk, 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Add the vanilla and cinnamon and mix well. Add the rice and raisins and stir to combine. 
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3 cups cooked rice, 1 cup raisins
  • Pour mixture into a greased, oven-safe casserole dish at least 9×9, or into individual ramekins.
  • Place the filled casserole dish inside a larger, oven-proof dish. Add about 1-2 inches of hot water to the larger pan (or enough to fill about halfway up the side of the rice pudding dish). This method will help the pudding to have a custard texture.
  • If using a 9×13 or similar size pan, bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top has set (It's okay if it jiggles just slightly). If using 9×9, you may need to add 15-20 minutes until the top has set. Serve warm.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
