Creamy, warm, and comforting — perfect for cold evenings or Ramadan dessert.
📝 Ingredients
¾ cup uncooked short-grain rice (or medium-grain)
4 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream (for extra richness)
½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup raisins (optional but delicious)
Optional toppings:
Extra cinnamon
Chopped nuts
Honey drizzle
👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the slow cooker
Lightly grease the inside with butter to prevent sticking.
Add ingredients
Add rice, milk, cream, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir well.
Cook
Cover and cook on:
Low for 3–4 hours, or
High for 2–2½ hours
Stir once or twice during cooking if possible.
Add raisins
Add raisins during the last 30–45 minutes so they stay plump.
Finish
When rice is tender and pudding is creamy, stir in vanilla.
Rest
Let sit 10–15 minutes — it thickens as it cools.
💡 Tips for Perfect Texture
✔ If too thick → add a splash of warm milk.
✔ If too thin → cook uncovered 15–20 minutes more.
✔ For lighter version → use only milk (no cream).
