Why is mine so thick? It’s more like hot sweet rice than a pudding. I used a ninja foodie.
I’m not sure…I haven’t tried it in a ninja foodie but it should come out the same in any electric pressure cooker.
Shooooooot! I added all ingredients at the same time….is it doomed for disaster?
I should hope it will still work out so long as you keep the same cooking times.
What oz. condensed milk can?
Hi, the can used in this recipe is 14oz Thanks!
Do you think this would work with almond milk instead of whole milk?
We have not tried it with almond milk however I think it would be fine.
Can you double the recipe?
For this specific recipe i would not recommend that as you’d end up with far too much liquid in the pot and it may overflow.
I did try that with mine , making a double at same time and it did overflow . So def better to do just as her recipe one at a time .
that’s what i thought as rice expands quite a lot.
What grain of rice do you recommend? Short grain, long grain, arborio? Thanks – looks delicious. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
We used long grain rice but I think any grain would work. I prefer long grain.
Mine got too thick…not creamy like yours looks like. When the 20 min is up…mine goes to “keep warm”…should I cancel that while it’s doing a natural release?
Can I use instant rice ?
using instant rice would change the cooking times which i’m not 100% sure of..
You know, I don’t think we’ve ever had rice pudding before. We’ll have to try it out. I bet we’ll love it.
I have to admit I can’t remember the last time I had rice pudding definitely a pudding I love!

Just made your Recipe for rice pudding. It turned out perfectly. We had a sample as soon as it was done and looking forward to the chilled version tonight. Hopefully the sweetness will be a perfect end to our spicy shrimp and grits.
Oh I’m so pleased you loved the recipe.
My instant does not have a porridge button…what now?
Don’t worry. You don’t have to miss out on making oatmeal or other porridge recipes in your Instant Pot doesn’t have this button. Most recipes use manual (or pressure cooking) in the cooking instructions anyway.
Double-check the recipe you’re preparing for additional instructions on time and ingredients to help you have a great finished dish. Also, if you are using manual cooking, you will need to figure out your cooking times.
