How to Make Leftover Rice Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups cooked rice, 3 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness).
  4. Pour the rice pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to chill completely.
  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey before serving (optional).
