Slow Cooker Rice Pudding that is rich and creamy! This rice and milk treat with cinnamon is a cinch to make, especially since it’s all done in the crock pot!
Slow cooker for the win!
Cooler temperatures are upon us, and at my house that means it’s time for comfort food! Rice pudding has always been a favorite of all of my kiddos. They love it for breakfast, snacks, and dessert (we even have a Mexican Rice Pudding recipe too!)
In the past, I have always used the traditional method of making rice pudding, which requires cooking and stirring in a pan on the stovetop. I decided to try a slow cooker rice pudding recipe. To tell the truth, I was pretty skeptical. I wasn’t sure it would turn out as nice and creamy as my regular recipe.
Fortunately, it turned out great and was beyond simple!!
I just dumped everything in my crock pot and set the timer. I only had to stir it once during cooking, and it turned out just perfect.
crockpot Rice Pudding tips
To make this recipe, you just add all the ingredients (rice, evaporated milk, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt).
Whisk this together in the slow cooker and cook for the following:
- HIGH for 2-3 hours
- LOW for 4-5.
I cooked mine on HIGH for 2 hours and 45 minutes, and it was perfect. Just a few tips…
- Add more cinnamon on top when serving if you like the cinnamon taste
- Add raisins or nuts to the mixture if you like those too
- You shouldn’t have to stir the mixture, but we did (just to be safe) half way through cooking
- STORING: Place in a plastic container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
My family finished it off so fast that next time I’ll be making a double batch. It is perfectly creamy, and has just the right amount of cinnamon. It is a perfect treat on a chilly day.

What is the serving size/number of servings for the Slow Cooker Rice Pudding?
It just depends on how big your servings are. It doesn’t make a whole lot, so I would double it for more than 4. Hope that helps!
I’m addicted to rice pudding and this looks fabulous! What size slow cooker did you use to make this? I have a 6 quart slow cooker and I’m wondering if it would be too big for this recipe would work. Doubling or tripling the recipe would make too much pudding for me.
Yes, it would work 🙂 Sometimes when that’s all you have, you work with it. You’ll love it!
HI,
LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING THIS RICE PUDDING, SUPER SIMPLE TO MAKE. MY QUESTION IS ARE THERE CERTAIN TYPES OF RICE YOU DON’T RECOMMEND USING…I ONLY HAVE CALROSE ON HAND AND IT TENDS TO BE RATHER STICKY ONCE COOKED.
You know, I have only tried the long grain & don’t make this too often, too know which ones are best or which ones to avoid. I think that would be just fine 😉
This is soooo delicious!!! This will be the only rice pudding I make from now on ????
Woohoo!! I love hearing that! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Yummy! I used rum flavored extract cuz did not have vanilla. Hit the spot!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing that!
It tastes good, but how to you get it to stay in pudding form? the day after making it I pulled it out of the fridge and it was like sticky rice, not pudding. This is the second rice pudding RECIPE I have tried and they both did the same thing. I starting to give up on rice pudding. I followed the recipe completely. Any help would be great.
Did you try re-heating it? You could add 2-3 tablespoons of milk & re-heat over the stove, stirring. It should get creamy after doing that.
hi kara! i love rice pudding but not fond of making it the traditional way. i can see this will be yummy and i will be making it via my favorite thing, the crock pot. thank you for sharing! i like rice pudding with nutmeg as well as cinnamon. Raisins are a must for me and i prefer it cold. never thought of it for breakfast, though, and that will be good! marie
I can’t have evaporated milk due to an emulsifier intolerance (most all have Carrageenan which is very bad for me). Any suggestions?
What do you usually substitute evaporated milk with?
I love that the crockpot does all the work & that this requires little ingredients! This is such a comforting & delicious dessert!
So simple to make and so good!
What can I substitute for evaporated milk? … If you don’t have any, make your own: To produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of regular milk down until it becomes 1 cup. In many recipes, evaporated milk may also be replaced with a combination of whole milk and half-and-half.May 16, 2017

I was brought up on this stuff. It totally screams comfort to me! I love this crockpot verSion. So simple and so good!
Rice pudding reminds me of my grandmother. Its just one of those comfortAbLe recipes. I love that this version uses the CROCKPOT!!
Rice Pudding is so yummy. This recipe is so simple to make and tasted amazing.
i have never had rice pudding before and i was so surprised how good it was! I will be keeping this recipe and making again1 thanks for the recipe
I have a question how much brown sugar should I use in the place of granulated sugar? I prefer brown over the normal type in desserts.
I would do equal amounts 🙂 Enjoy!!
very delicious, did not last more than a day here! Going to make more and double the recipe
I am glad you tried it!! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Followed exactly. 3 hrs. later it is like water. Wonder if amount of rice should have been 1 3/4 instead of 3/4.
Did it turn out ok? I hope so! I haven’t had that issue, so not sure what happened.
Been trying many recipes for rice pudding for YEARS……No LUCK. THIS SLOW COOKER CHANGED IT ALL. IT IS SOO EASY. Had Everything in the pantry
So I gave it a go. Will absolutely double it next time, which will be soon.
Yay!! I love hearing that!! Love when I have everything to make a recipe! Thank you!
I was very happy to find such an easy recipe. I made the rice pudding and I think the crock pot i used always gets hotter than my other crocks so i feel that it was over cooked. it was very good when we ate some warm but after putting it in the frige it dried up. so i just warmed it a little and added more milk like you said . rice pudding was there and then it was all gone.
i will make again, with less cooking time.
i suggest everyone to try the recipe so easy and a great tasting rice pudding
i give it 10 star
Awe, thank you for suggesting it 🙂 I am happy it was gone!
I was so excited to try this recipe, minimal ingredients, cooked in a slow cooker, what could go wrong?
A lot. I decided to cook it on low for 4.5 hrs. I had fallen asleep, so my pot kept it warm for another 2 hours. That makes it 6.5 hrs. I opened my pot to soup, with uncooked rice. I decided, let me up it to high and cook it for 2.5 hours.
Well, it had definitely thickened up, almost to dulce de leche color and consistency. The rice, while no longer raw was still on the crunchy center side so, after 9 hours on heat, the rice still hadn’t cooked. Tomorrow I’m going to try to rescue it by adding more milk to thin it out, and simmer it on the stovetop.
I’m so disappointed
Hmm..I am so sorry! I haven’t had issues with cooking mine on high for about 2 hrs 45 min. I wish I knew what happened. Thank you for trying it!
At what point should I add raisins?
I would add them right at the end, before serving, but you can add them sooner, if you want them softer.
1st time in my life ever making Rice puddIng exActly by your directIons we love it, we made twice so far this week Mixed a cup of rasins And extra cinnamon in just Before serving.
Thank you!
There are so many great options to add! Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Tried it in my crock pot… the flavor is great, very wonderful! The cooking process, however, took several more hours than the recommended 2-3. It took around 4-5, and the rice is still isn’t fully cooked.
Thank you so much for giving it a try 🙂 Glad you liked the flavor!
