Equipment

  • 1 Instant pot

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup jasmine rice 150g
  • ⅓ - ½ cup granulated sugar 75g
  • cups whole milk divided
  • cup hot water
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch

Optional for garnishing

  • ground cinnamon
  • raisins
  • chopped nuts

Instructions

  • In the instant pot, place rice, sugar, 2½ cups of milk, hot water and vanilla extract, stir to dissolve sugar.
  • Place the lid on, seal and pressure cook for 10 minutes.
  • Do a manual release, then open the lid when it is done.
  • In a small bowl dissolve cornstarch in cold heavy cream.
  • Turn your instant pot to the sauté option.
  • Pour heavy cream over and keep stirring for a couple of times until thickened.
  • Pour into serving cups/plates, garnish with cinnamon, nuts or raisins as desired.
  • Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • We are used to cinnamon as a garnish but some people add it to the rice while cooking.
  • If you find rice pudding too thick for your liking pour in the remaining cup of milk to thin it out. I'm used to a loose rice pudding so I do that.
  • Please check the nutrition disclaimer policy.
