How To Make Instant Pot Rice Pudding

Pour all the ingredients into your Instant Pot. Mix well to make sure that all of the ingredients and the rice are well incorporated and mixed.
Place your Instant Pot lid on and screw to close. Close the valve on your pressure cooker.
Select “Porridge” on your Instant Pot for 20 minutes. Once it has finished cooking, allow it to release for 15 minutes naturally. After the 15 minutes, manually release by using a hot pad or a towel and bringing the valve toward you to release the pressure.
If you find that your rice pudding is a little too thin for your liking, you can press cancel on your Instant Pot and turn it on “sauté” mode to reduce.
Top with more cinnamon as an option.

Recipe tips:

Rice: This recipe uses white rice, but you can use brown rice or a combination of both for a heartier pudding. Note, for using brown rice, you will need a longer cooking time than for white rice.

Seasonings: You can also add any flavor you like – cinnamon, vanilla extract, raisins, etc. – to customize the dish to your taste.

Add-Ins: Some great add-ins would be diced pecans, walnuts or raisins. Simply mix them in at the end, right before serving.

Instant Pot: This recipe will also work in the Ninja Foodi, or any pressure cooking. The cooking time will remain the same.
