How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Rice Pudding

  1. Combine rice, milk (whole milk and cinnamon rice milk recommended), pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and optional spices (nutmeg, ginger).
  5. Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This can be sped up by transferring the pudding to a shallow dish and refrigerating.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with whipped cream, toasted pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
