The easiest Instant Pot rice pudding recipe ever that takes just 20 minutes and is the best pressure cooker dessert we’ve made. Just a few ingredients and it’s great served either warm or cold. There’s 3 versions including an Instant Pot coconut rice pudding and a dairy free rice pudding recipe too!

I will say that this is the most amazing and the easiest Instant Pot rice pudding recipe ever! This is actually the first dessert I’ve made in my new 7 in 1 favorite appliance and it came out great on the first try (isn’t always the case when I am trying something new). Just enough of a treat for the 5 of us after dinner, and this instant rice pudding could easily be doubled for a larger crowd. With only a few ingredients it is an easy dessert you can throw together and eat either warm (oh so good) or cold. Here is how you make it, it’s now one of our favorite dessert Instant Pot recipes. (originally published 2/17)

I like a generous amount of cinnamon and nutmeg on the top of my Instant Pot rice pudding!

With a bit of added vanilla while you’re cooking, and almond extract is fabulous too you can personalize this Instant Pot dessert to your liking. From start to finish it took about 17 minutes, perfect for making right after dinner is over to get it hot and fresh.

I immediately take it out of the pot when it’s done and serve it in small bowls and it is gone in just minutes.

It is barely enough for the 5 of us, but just enough or I’d just gorge myself because it is just so darn creamy and good. If you prefer your rice pudding to be chilled then you can pour the contents into a larger bowl, allow to cool a bit and then put it in the fridge but if you haven’t eaten it warm it is really amazing.

Here’s a quick step by step photo showing you how it’s done…..

This is what you need to make this Instant Pot rice pudding recipe:

I’ve made it on my stovetop but using an Instant Pot is SO much easier and quicker
1. I HIGHLY suggest you get a non stick pot too!
White rice (I like this one)
Sugar
Evaporated milk
Butter
Egg
Milk
Vanilla
Spices

If you’re making dairy free Instant Pot rice pudding then make these substitutions

Almond milk or lactose free milk vs. milk
Coconut evaporated milk vs regular evaporated milk

When you take the lid off initially after it’s cooked for 14 minutes the rice will not seem quite cooked. But it will, don’t worry.

Stir to separate rice and then follow directions adding some rice mixture to your egg mixture so it warms up before adding to your IP and simmering a bit longer to finish cooking the rice.

If at the end you want it creamier just add a bit more evaporated milk and stir until it is the perfect consistency and thickness for you!

Tips for making the perfect Instant Pot rice pudding

Do not double this recipe – it is better to make 2 separate batches rather than trying to double it, believe me
Use some of the hot liquid with your whisked evaporated milk and egg mixture as to temper the egg – or else it will look like strings of cooked egg inside, not good
Follow the directions below regarding the amount of evaporated milk
- Add more at the very end if you want your rice pudding to be creamier
Make sure as soon as it is done perfectly to your liking to dump the contents into a larger bowl or serve in smaller bowls to eat immediately
- Leaving it in the pot to sit will make it mushier by the minute as it is still continuing to cook a bit since the pot is still quite hot
Enjoy and share this recipe if you love it along with the other hundreds of thousands of other people have!! 😉
