Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even creamier rice pudding, soak the rice in lukewarm water for 30 minutes before cooking! It cooks more evenly and gives an ultra-melting texture 🍚🔥.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Texture slightly affected after thawing. Up to 1 month in an airtight container.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Ideal for developing the flavors and firming up the texture after a night in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat gently in a saucepan with a little milk to restore the consistency. Microwave possible at low power in short bursts.

Variations

Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Add lemon or orange zest.
Serve lukewarm or well chilled.

Mistakes to avoid

Not stirring: stir regularly so the rice doesn't stick.
Adding the sugar too early: add it 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
Cooking over high heat: lower the heat as soon as it boils.
