Instant Pot Rice Pudding
The Instant Pot is such a wonderful appliance. You can make all kinds of recipes in it, including desserts! Cheesecake is the most popular dessert, but rice pudding is right up there, too!
When I was a kid we had rice pudding made with regular long grain white rice. It was really good, but not very creamy. Using a short grain rice like arborio will give you a super creamy result. The arborio rice has lots of starch in it.
Instant Pot Rice Pudding is easy to make, and takes about the same amount of time as regular white rice. There is an extra step of sautéing at the end, but it only takes a couple of minutes.
The rice pudding will thicken a lot as it cools. If you want to warm it up later, add a splash or two of milk to your serving and mix it in. Then heat it slowly, stirring a few times.
This pressure cooker rice pudding is a rich dessert, and is nice for a special occasion, or for when you want to treat yourself with something special.
Kids really like this Instant Pot Rice Pudding recipe. I know I sure did, and still do!

Any chance there is a way to take the eggs out of this? I can’t have them. Thanks if you have any ideas. I really love your blog.
I would try making it without the eggs, and decrease the milk by about 1/2 cup. See how that works for you!
Can I substitute with Jasmine rice? Would rice to water ratio be the same. I want to try this.
Yes, use a 1:1 ratio with Jasmine rice. Rinse it first.
This was perfect. Will make again.
Awesome!
Why is the milk “divided”? Instructions do not refer to using the second half.. Thanks.
Sorry, London, that was a typo I failed to delete. You will add all of the milk at once.
WOW This Was Perfect And So So Good!Thank You Very Much.
That’s great, Donna! Thank you.
Baked rice pudding brings back childhood memories for me, as well. Nothing you can buy compares to making it at home. I loved the arborio rice versus the long grain. And not having to rinse it? YAY! This was so good warm ~ so comforting. My husband likes it cold. So win win.
That’s nice, Julie. Thank you for your comment.
Yummy!! Loved the arborio rice version and added more raisins lol my kid loves this!
