Instant Pot Rice Pudding Recipes

INSTANT POT® OLD-FASHIONED RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Stir in milk and sugar. Warm the mixture, stirring continuously, until sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn Instant Pot® off. Add rice. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, at least 10 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Remove lid of the Instant Pot®. Scoop 1 cup of pudding mixture out of the pot; add to the beaten eggs and whisk until completely blended. Pour back into the Instant Pot® and add raisins, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
• Select Saute function. Cook until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• Add the rice, butter, salt, allspice and cinnamon stick to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Turn the pot to the high saute setting (see Cook's Note). Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is opaque but not browning, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of the milk and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until most of the milk has been absorbed and the mixture is thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar and 4 cups water, then scrape in the vanilla seeds, add the pod and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the rice mixture, scraping the bottom to make sure nothing is stuck. Turn the pot to the high saute setting and add the cream and remaining 4 cups milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil, 3 to 4 minutes. The mixture will be very soupy, but it will thicken as it cools.
• Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding to keep it from forming a skin. Let sit at room temperature until thickened but still warm, 1 to 2 hours.
• Stir the pudding before serving. Top with toasted pecans, rum-soaked raisins, warm raspberry jam or cinnamon.

Steps:

• Rinse rice until water runs clear. Strain out most of the water and add rice to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add milk, water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt and stir well. Close and lock the lid. Select the porridge function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir sweetened condensed milk into the rice pudding until combined. Stir in raisins and serve immediately.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In the pressure cooker pot, stir together the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, orange zest (if using), vanilla bean and seeds, and salt.
• Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
• Open the lid and discard the cinnamon stick, orange zest and vanilla bean.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and yolks. Whisk into the rice and continue to stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. (It will still look soupy at this point.) The residual heat of the rice will cook the yolks, and chilling will thicken the pudding. Stir in the raisins, if using.
• Spoon the pudding into serving bowls, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or cardamom and whipped cream, if you'd like.
