Rice Pudding
Rice Pudding is a classic creamy dessert made with pudding rice, milk, golden caster sugar, butter and a hint of nutmeg. The Thermomix TM7 stirs and cooks it automatically, so the milk never catches and the rice turns out velvety and soft. An ideal comfort dessert that needs no constant supervision at the hob.
About this recipe
Rice Pudding Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate comfort dessert: soft pudding rice slowly cooked in sweetened milk until thick and creamy, finished with a whisper of ground nutmeg. Searching for rice pudding recipes that don't require standing at the hob? This all-in-one kitchen machine heats and gently stirs the milk and rice automatically, so nothing sticks or scorches. Golden caster sugar dissolves evenly, while a knob of unsalted butter enriches the pudding with a silky finish. It is a classic British dessert that works beautifully on chilly evenings, as a weekend treat or even as a gentle breakfast. Because the TM7 controls everything hands-free, you get the same velvety result every single time, without the skin, lumps or burnt bottom of the traditional oven method.
Preparation tips
- Rinse the pudding rice under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch, which keeps the rice pudding creamy rather than gluey. Use whole milk for the richest flavour; semi-skimmed milk gives a slightly thinner result.
- Add the golden caster sugar only towards the end of cooking so the rice grains soften fully in the milk first. Stir the unsalted butter through at the very end for a glossy, silky finish before serving.
- Serve the rice pudding warm with a dusting of freshly ground nutmeg, or chill it for a few hours for a firmer, spoonable dessert. Leftovers keep well covered in the fridge for a couple of days.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the milk with lactose-free whole milk or a creamy oat drink and use a plant-based butter alternative. The pudding rice, golden caster sugar and nutmeg stay the same for that familiar comforting taste.
- Festive Christmas variation: stir in a spoonful of mincemeat or cranberry compote and a pinch of cinnamon with the nutmeg. Top with caramelised flaked almonds for a celebratory winter dessert.
