Made on the stove top with quick cooking rice, this sweet rice pudding dessert is loaded with comforting and delicious flavors of cinnamon and vanilla. Top with whipped cream, and extra cinnamon for an extra delicious and inexpensive dessert.
One of my kids’ favorite, easy desserts to make when snacks are low is this Cinnamon Vanilla Rice Pudding. This easy to make rice pudding is sure to please everyone who loves a creamy pudding with some tasty texture!
You can even add raisins or nuts to it if you’d like!
Common pantry staples like sugar, rice, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, and eggs are all you need to make this dessert. We used the quick cooking variety of rice, but you can use traditional white rice as well. It will just take longer to make.
By using quick “minute-style” rice, this recipe can be made in about 20 minutes and serves 6.
If you do not have quick cooking rice, you can use any long grain white rice such as jasmine rice. See instructions below.

Cinnamon Vanilla Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick-cook rice
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- whipped topping optional
Instructions
- In a 5 quart stockpot, bring 1 cup of quick-cook white rice and 3 cups of milk to a slow boil over medium heat-stir constantly. About 10 minutes.
- Once milk begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium/low and stir occasionally for 10 minutes; rice will expand.
- Remove rice from heat and quickly stir in sugar and vanilla extract and one egg at a time. You must do this swift and get it well combined or the eggs will scramble.
- Mix in cinnamon and allow to cool in servings dishes for at least 20 minutes-this will also help thicken the pudding a bit.
- Serve with optional whipped topping and additional cinnamon if requested.
I think it’s so cool that Lean Cuisines are available in gluten-free options! That rice pudding looks great, too! Yay!
Those all look delicious. Gluten-free has certainly come a long way! I’d love to try all of them.
All of these options look great, but I’m really interested in that rice pudding. Rice pudding is the bomb!
I am not gluten free myself but all of these dishes look delicious. I had no idea rice pudding was so easy to make from scratch!
We always love to hear about gluten free options. I will have to check out the Lean Cuisine meals for sure!
I’ve never had ride pudding. I think it is time I give it a try though because this sounds so good!
This is a similar recipe to one that my Grandma passed on to me years ago. Love it!

My kids are crazy about all things cinnamon. They would adore me for making your rice pudding for them. Making it together would be even more fun!

Lean Cuisine has some really great meals in a pinch and pretty healthy. I love their new box designs.
Glad your daughter found something she enjoys eating.
I have never liked rice pudding and I realized it’s because I’ve never tried it before. This looks good. Vanilla and Cinnamon are two of my faves so I’ll have to give it a try!
