BEST CREAMY, EASY RICE PUDDING! 
3 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white rice
4 cups 1% milk
2 cups half & half
2 whole eggs
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

Bring 3 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to boil in a 4 quart pot, stir in 1 1/2 cups rice. Cover and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Stir in 4 cups milk, 2 cups half and half, 1 1/2 cups sugar and heat up until steamy (stirring continuously) then reduce to low heat, cover, until mixture looks like thick soup, about 1 hour.

Whisk 2 eggs, 4 egg whites, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in separate bowl then add to rice mixture. Do not let boil; stir about 1-2 minutes on low heat so temperature reaches 160-170 degrees. Remove from heat, may optionally add 2/3 cup raisins.

Place rice pudding into Tupperware, cover surface with plastic wrap (adds to creaminess and prevents thick surface), cool about an 1 hour.

Sprinkle servings with generous amounts of cinnamon as option.

Makes 3 quarts.

Enjoy!

I followed the recipe as written, couldn't get it like thick soup. Then I did all the egg and stuff and mixed with the rice. WOW!! The recipe doesn't tell you what to do with the White sauce!! Next time I think I will write up all the steps, BEFORE I spend all the money on the ingredients.

I like preparing rice pudding exactly like this comes out great the only issue I have is I don't like that much sugar so I used a half a cup of sugar substitute

I prepared this recipe for my family on New Years, they loved it! I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and added a vanilla bean, stripped the seeds into the egg mixture. Followed directions otherwise. When serving, placed rice pudding into sundae glasses and topped with whipped cream & marachino cherry on top. Splendid!

This was sooooo easy and tasted great! I used 4 1/2 cups of leftover cooked rice from the night before and followed the recipe the rest of the way. I have tried making rice pudding in the oven before and it never turned out very well. This is easy and delicious!

I'm a professional caterer and my client asked for rice pudding. I had never made a homemade one before. This recipe was a hit! The only thing I did was added 2 tbsp. of butter when adding milk, half and half and sugar. I made it the night before the event and it was was better the next day! Very creamy! Awesome recipe!

This is Awesome! I have made this about 5 times in the last 2 weeks! I did change a few things to accomodate what I had in the house. I used 5 cups of Whole Milk, and 1 cup of Whipping Cream. Even my fussy friends LOVED IT!!

Thanks for Sharing :)

Love this recipe! Made it for Thanksgiving and am now making it again for Christmas. Everyone loves it! I put it into the foil cupcake tins, top with cinnamon and a maraschino cherry- the cupcake liners are a great serving size and easy for little hands. It was incredibly sweet when we tasted it warm, but after cooling it was perfect! 5 stars!

Very good recipe. It is very rich and creamy, but unless I really need a lot of pudding, I will cut the recipe in half next time.

Excellent recipe. I love rice pudding and this is an easy recipe that comes out perfect every time. You might want to reduce the sugar a bit, the first batch I made was very sweet.
