Creamy Slow Cooker Rice Pudding

Slow cooker rice pudding is the perfect winter dessert, rich and creamy with a sweet drizzle over the top you won’t be able to get enough of this childhood favourite!

Hasn’t it been cold recently?! When it is chilly I think we all want to enjoy a hot pudding now and again, and we also crave comforting food from our childhood. Well that is certainly true for me anyway.

I remembered a packet of pudding rice I saw at the back of my store cupboard, and thought rice pudding would be just the thing.

Making it in the slow cooker instead of in the oven gives me more freedom to attempt to get the house in order while it cooks, and as you know I do like to put the slow cooker to good use at all times. 

How to serve

The rice pudding itself is creamy and sweet without being oversweet, and I have added some Caramac buttons (caramel white chocolate) on top to add a taste of caramel, and then to serve you can drizzle more melted Caramac on top if you like.

The rice pudding forms that lovely skin as it cooks, which is my favourite bit of rice pudding. You can just stir it occasionally if you don’t want any skin. Plus the slow cooker is really easy to clean afterwards so no scrubbing to do.

If you need comfort food then this creamy slow cooker rice pudding is just the dessert for you, rich and creamy and caramel flavoured, and so easy to make.

Recipe options

I also make this plain without Caramac, and serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you don’t like Caramac or caramel white chocolate you could also stir through dark or milk chocolate, cacao nibs, hazelnuts, raisins, the options are endless.

Step by step

1. Measure out rice (50 g), milk (500 ml/2 cups) and sugar (25 g).
2. Place them in the slow cooker.
3. Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours.
4. Add your preferred addition on top!
