Slow Cooker Rice Pudding Using Cooked Rice

WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Rice Pudding using Cooked Rice

Last week I had about 2 cups of leftover white rice from Chinese takeout I felt compelled to use up.

I considered making a batch of fried rice, but decided to try a slow cooker rice pudding using cooked rice instead.

Slow Cooker Rice Pudding Using Cooked Rice

I've made slow cooker rice pudding several times but always with uncooked rice.

Recipe Notes

I think this was the best rice pudding I've made yet.

It was super-easy too. Just stir everything together in the slow cooker and let it do its thing for a couple of hours. How easy is that?

I'm learning that the key to great rice pudding is to cook it less than you think you should. You need to stop cooking it when it is thickened, but still a little bit fluid because it will continue to cook and thicken as it cools.

If it does get too thick as it cools, which mine did, just stir in more milk until you achieve the desired consistency. ( I added about a cup of almond milk.)

This is not something that can sit around on the warm setting after it's done. If you do, you'll end up with a thick, sticky mess!

This rice pudding is delicious warm or cold and I had it for breakfast topped with raspberries several times last week.
