How long can you keep rice pudding?

Rice pudding can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

What types of rice are used for rice pudding?

Round or medium-grain rice varieties are usually used for rice pudding, such as Arborio or Bomba rice.

What toppings can you add to rice pudding?

Rice pudding can be garnished with various toppings, such as cinnamon, brown sugar, fruit, jam, nuts, or whipped cream.

Can you freeze rice pudding?

Yes, you can, but it's generally not recommended. When you freeze and then thaw rice pudding, its texture unfortunately changes significantly. The starch in the rice releases moisture, which often makes the pudding watery, grainy, or "curdled" after thawing. The rice grains can also become very mushy and soft.

Can you also make rice pudding with cream?

Yes, absolutely! In fact, adding cream makes your rice pudding extra luxurious, velvety, and creamy. You can do this in two ways: Replace a portion of the full-fat milk (for example, 150 ml to 200 ml) with liquid, unwhipped cream and cook it with the rice from the beginning. OR Cook the rice pudding in milk as described. Meanwhile, whip a splash of cream until it reaches the consistency of yogurt and gently fold it into the lukewarm rice pudding at the very end, just before serving.
