There’s a quiet joy in rice pudding—the kind that fills your kitchen with the scent of cinnamon and warm milk, the kind that tastes like childhood, like slow Sunday afternoons, like someone saying, “I’ve got you.”
This Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Rice Pudding honors that tradition with zero fuss and maximum comfort. No standing over a pot, no constant stirring—just five simple ingredients tucked into your slow cooker, left to simmer into velvety, custard-like perfection while you live your day.
It’s the dessert your grandmother might have made, but with the ease of modern life. And yes—it’s even better with a sprinkle of toasted nuts and a cloud of whipped cream.
