Indian kheer, Levantine meghli & Thai coconut rice pudding are some of the traditional puddings. Some recipes use ingredients like egg, flour or even coconut milk for a unique flavor & texture. The recipe I am sharing here uses no fancy ingredients and is made just with 4 pantry staples – Rice, milk, cinnamon & sweetener. The best part about this instant pot rice pudding is that it is prepared in just 2 steps. Dump all the ingredients and set it to cook. There is no stirring involved as it is done for the stove top method. You can also dump them the previous night and set it. Your flavorful delicious rice pudding is ready for your morning breakfast. I have made this with hand pound rice & dates hence the color. You can use any rice including brown rice and any sweetener of your choice. As I am trying to limit refined sugar I made it with dates. But the flavor of rice pudding is completely different with dates. More Instant pot recipes Instant pot brown rice Pulao recipe Khichdi recipe Tomato rice
