There are so many versions of rice pudding out there. There is old fashion rice pudding, Mexican rice pudding aka Arozz Con Leche , Indian rice pudding aka Kheer to name some. Some even make rice pudding with cooked rice o leftover rice. These rice puddings are unique on their own. The old fashion rice pudding consists of eggs, milk as its important ingredients and the pudding is baked after cooking shortly in a pot on stove top . Arozz Con Leche is a delicious rice pudding commonly made with long grain rice, evaporated milk plus some recipes use sugar and sometimes condensed milk to sweeten .It is then finished off with golden raisins. Indian rice pudding aka kheer is made by cooking rice, milk on a low flame on a stove top and slowly reducing it until thick. It is very much hands on process . Fragrant spices like saffron, cardamom and nuts are added later. Today’s recipe – Creamy coconut rice pudding is a modern day quick and easy Instant Pot dessert where all ingredients are dumped in the Instant Pot and cooked on porridge mode . Instant Pot rice pudding is a hands off process .Trust me your folks will think you have slaved for hours to get this creamy consistency of the rice pudding.
What is this Creamy Instant Pot Rice pudding recipe made of?
This easy creamy rice pudding is made with handful of ingredients featuring coconut milk, arborio rice (any other rice will do), cinnamon, vanilla and has no refined sugar not even condensed milk and no eggs . Did I say NO REFINED SUGAR??? OH Yes !! It naturally sweetened, trust me you will swoon all over it!!!! Some versions are sweetened with condensed milk which sweetens and adds richness to the pudding while some rice puddings use regular granulated sugar. The recipe that I am sharing today uses none of the above. I have used coconut milk for the rich and creamy feel and opted for natural sweeteners like apples and dates to sweeten this rice pudding. I promise you that you won’t miss sugar at all. The very first time when I made rice pudding this way my family couldn’t believe that it is all natural without refined sugar.
What is the best rice to use for rice pudding?
Well it all depends on what texture you want the rice pudding to be. Arborio rice or sticky rice will have an ultra creamy texture with a bite to it. If you are using Jasmine rice or long grain basmati rice then the pudding will be more soft textured like melt in mouth and not chewy or starchy like arborio. I personally like arborio for this recipe and basmati for my Indian Kheer recipe. The choice is yours . It will taste great either ways.
