Can you make rice pudding with sweetened condensed milk? You certainly can!
We’ve recently discovered the joy of chocolate rice pudding (starting with leftover but perfectly cooked brown rice) but dare I say it, I love this sweetened condensed milk rice pudding AT LEAST as much. Maybe more.
Because you only need 3 ingredients.
And one of them is leftover brown rice and the other is a super shortcut for a creamy, dreamy treat: sweetened condensed milk.
What you need for rice pudding with sweetened condensed milk
- Cooked rice
- Milk
- Sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
That’s it! Can you add extra vanilla? Yes.
Use coconut milk instead of regular dairy milk? Absolutely. Just be sure to include the coconut fat.
What about topping with chocolate chips, or fudge sauce? Yes, and yes please!
All of those are delicious and work every time.
The only must-have ingredients are leftover rice and sweetened condensed milk. It doesn’t matter what brand of sweetened condensed milk you use. Nestle makes a very popular version but I usually find Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk at my store.
Rice Pudding with Sweetened Condensed Milk
Add an extra teaspoon of vanilla or swap the dairy milk for a cup of coconut milk (including the fat). But don’t leave out the sweetened condensed milk!
Ingredients
2 cups cooked brown rice
14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of regular whole milk
Instructions
- Measure out your rice. (I used 2 cups of cooked brown rice.) Put the rice in a medium size pan.
- Add one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Add one cup of regular whole milk.
- Stir and bring to a low boil.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often (seriously, don’t walk away), until the rice has started absorbing all that gooey milky goodness.
- Store any extra 3-ingredient rice pudding in the fridge for up to 1 week (but it’ll never last that long.)
Not only is our rice pudding easy to make with condensed milk, but with all that whole-grain rice, it passes for a breakfast too. Just add a sprinkle of raisins or dried cranberries.
What is sweetened condensed milk?
Wikipedia says:
Condensed milk is cow’s milk from which water has been removed. It is most often found with sugar added, in the form of sweetened condensed milk, to the extent that the terms “condensed milk” and “sweetened condensed milk” are often used interchangeably today.

My mother use to make rice pudding for breakfast when I was little. This recipe really took me back memory lane. Thank you for this delicious recipe.
Love this recipe. Easy and so yummy
My
Father made a rice pudding with condensed milk after the rice was cooked it was spooned out onto a plate and then he would spoon over melted butter just as it was Browning topped with cinnamon and brown sugar
The cooked rice instruction was in the main recipe above:
“WHAT YOU NEED FOR RICE PUDDING WITH SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK”
1. Cooked rice
2. Milk
3. Sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
On another note, I am going to try the brown sugar you mentioned that your father added!! Yummy!!
Dear god thank you!
I have been sitting this damn rice for ages and it was tough the whole time! So I started added water a lil bit at a time cuz it just wasn’t cooking.
Yes please revise the instructions to COOKED rice.
Not all recipes require pre cooked rice which made this confusing.
Sorry I may be dumb but for those like me who were confused by the directions…
You need to cook your rice first before following this recipe. It would be nice if that part was at least mentioned here.
Worth noting
You cook it all together
The recipe ingredients/instructions specify “cooked rice”
If you reread the ingredients it states “2 cups cooked rice”!! If you need directions on how to make rice, look it up on Pinterest. Worth noting!!
it says COOKED RICE
The recipe does say 2 cups cooked brown rice… You must have missed.
it says COOKED RICE. Duh!
Recipe specifically state cooked rice
It was in the first sentence of the second paragraph if I’m not mistaken!
She specifically said cooked!
It does say 2 cups of “cooked rice”
Maybe you should scroll back up. The 4th sentence says she used leftover brown rice.
The recipe said “leftover” rice. No one eats rice uncooked.
The recipe states use cooked rice? I wasn’t confused.
It reads cooked rice in recipe
Leftover brown cooked rice….
Wonderful! Used cooked white rice, added vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg at the end of cooking. Was just a tad sweet but 1/2 cup more cooked rice will fix that!
Laila the recipe called for cooked rice.
Oh thank you for this easy recipe. Can use vegan condensed milk. I have a can of oats condensed milk. Gotta add raisins.
Had leftover rice from guests canceling at the last minute.
Used Aldi’s brand condensed milk, oat milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Added in some Craisins.
Wow…crazy good…just like my grandma used to make!
Thank you for posting!
Yes I added blueberries!
Love this recipe I use leftover stemmed white rice instead of brown I will make it with the brown rice soon. I just added a little nutmeg and cinnamon as well as cardamom.. Out of this world never doing the longer version with eggs and cooking the rice in milk…. Easy and yummy…
Heading to the kitchen all ingredients I have on hand and making tonight sounds yummy
Does anyone know the yield of this recipe? Or did I miss it?
It was way too sweet, had to throw it out.
I made this today using cooked white rice. I added a teaspoon of vanilla, raisins and cinnamon.
Delicious!
Simple, super easy, and super delicious. I didn’t have any regular whole milk so I used a cup of evaporated milk. I did add a teaspoon of vanilla. Thanks for the recipe.
This recipe is awesome! Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top after and it’s delicious!
Unfortunately I find it way too sweet. I’ve tried to dilute the sweetness with more milk but it didn’t help.
