Slow Cooker Creamy Rice Pudding with Raisins

There is something wonderfully comforting about a bowl of homemade rice pudding. As it slowly cooks, simple ingredients come together into a creamy, fragrant dessert with tender grains of rice, plump raisins, and a gentle touch of cinnamon and vanilla. This Slow Cooker Creamy Rice Pudding with Raisins is especially easy because the slow cooker does most of the work for you.

Unlike stovetop rice pudding, which requires frequent stirring and careful attention, this version cooks gradually and develops a rich, velvety texture with very little effort. The raisins soften as they cook, releasing little bursts of sweetness throughout the pudding. Serve it warm for a cozy dessert, or chill it and enjoy it cold for an old-fashioned treat.

Why You’ll Love This Rice Pudding

This recipe is ideal when you want a comforting dessert without complicated preparation. The ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find, and the slow cooking process allows the flavors to develop naturally.

The finished pudding is creamy without being overly heavy, while cinnamon and vanilla add warmth and depth. Raisins provide a chewy contrast to the soft rice and make every spoonful a little more interesting.

It is also wonderfully versatile. You can serve it as a dessert after dinner, prepare it ahead of time for a gathering, or enjoy a small bowl as a sweet afternoon treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional

For Serving

You can enjoy the pudding as it is, or add a simple finishing touch such as:

• A light sprinkle of cinnamon
• A few extra raisins
• A drizzle of honey
• Chopped toasted nuts
• A small spoonful of whipped cream

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with a little butter or nonstick cooking spray. This helps reduce sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Use a slow cooker large enough to comfortably hold all the ingredients without filling it too close to the top.

Step 2: Add the Rice

Pour the uncooked rice into the slow cooker.

For the creamiest result, use ordinary white rice rather than instant or quick-cooking rice. The rice needs enough time to gradually absorb the milk and soften.

Step 3: Add the Dairy and Sugar

Pour the whole milk and heavy cream over the rice. Add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg.

Stir everything gently until the sugar is distributed throughout the liquid and the rice is evenly spread across the bottom.
