How to Make Lite Rice Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 1/4 cups cooked rice, 2 cups whole milk, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Stir well to ensure the sugar is dissolved and the rice is evenly distributed in the milk.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure a creamy consistency. The pudding is ready when the rice and milk have thickened into a porridge-like texture.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour into individual serving bowls or a large bowl.
  6. Sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
