Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding: A Timeless Comfort Dessert Made Step by Step

🔥 Optional Old-School Baked Finish (Like the Image)

This step gives you that golden, caramelized top.

Step 5: Add Egg (Traditional Custard Method)

  • Beat 1 egg in a bowl
  • Slowly add a few spoonfuls of hot pudding into the egg (to temper it)
  • Stir the egg mixture back into the pot

This creates a richer, custard-style pudding.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

  • Pour pudding into oven-safe ramekins
  • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes
  • Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for a toasted top

The surface becomes golden and slightly crisp, while the inside stays creamy.

🥄 How It Should Look & Taste

  • Creamy, soft rice that melts in your mouth
  • Gently sweet, rich but not heavy
  • Warm vanilla and milk flavor
  • A lightly caramelized top that cracks under the spoon

Exactly like the image: pure comfort in every bite.

🌿 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm for cozy evenings
  • Chill and serve cold for a refreshing dessert
  • Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top
  • Add raisins or a drizzle of honey if desired
