If you love creamy desserts, this is the post for you! Super creamy rice pudding with warm spices and raisins, you can’t go wrong!

This is the best rice pudding recipe I’ve ever made! It’s super easy too because you can use leftover rice.

I love making rice pudding with cooked rice because that is one step already done for you and more than half the cooking time cut in half, score! I used long grain white rice to make this recipe but basmati rice works well too.

What makes this version the best rice pudding recipe? It’s the addition of regular and golden raisins along with a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Warm spices really make this easy rice pudding shine!

Alternatives and Add-Ons:

Experiment with dried fruits like dried cherries, apricots, or even mango in place of the raisins. If you are using dried fruit that is bigger than a raisin, make sure to chop them up first.

Also, mixing up the spices will make it your own, try chai spice in place of the cinnamon!

You can also stir in some nuts right before serving to add a nice textural element. I suggest walnuts or chopped almonds!

Don’t have cooked rice on hand? No worries, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot. Add 1/2 cup rice, stir, cover, reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Now, on with the rest of the recipe!
