This delicious classic creamy vanilla rice pudding recipe topped off with raisins is the perfect after-dinner dessert or daytime treat.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 1 vanilla bean
• 3 ½ cups whole milk
• Heaping 1/3 cup sugar
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2/3 cup medium-grain rice
• 1 egg yolk
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• ½ cup raisins
Serves 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Cooling Time: 40 minutes
1. Slice the vanilla bean in half longways and scrape out all of the seeds using a knife. Place the seeds and hollowed out vanilla bean pods in a medium-size sauce pot.
2. Add the milk, sugar, salt and rice to the pot with the vanilla and bring to a rolling simmer over medium heat while constantly stirring.
3. Turn the heat down to low and stir every 2-3 minutes for 20-25 minutes until the rice is soft and the mixture is relatively thick, like a thin risotto.
4. Remove the vanilla pods and stir in the egg yolk and cinnamon until completely mixed in.
5. Transfer the rice to a casserole dish and spread out. Chill for 30-40 minutes or until cold.
6. Serve with raisins.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 3 days ahead of time. Keep it in the refrigerator before serving.
How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This does not freeze well.
If you don’t have a vanilla bean, then use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and put it in right after you add in the cinnamon for maximum flavor.
When it comes to adding in fruit or nuts, you can incorporate them when stirring in the cinnamon or add them right before serving. I prefer to add at the end before serving.
To cool the rice pudding faster, spread it out on a sheet tray or in a casserole dish first before placing in the refrigerator.

The end of the video. Dang I'm such a great chef!
Very nice but I’m pro mushy raisins
Yummy
everything in this video is so therapeutic and it makes me want to cry.
Actually one idea for the leftover vanilla beans you can rinse and dry them out in the oven and use them again like brewing hot coffee. I dry vanilla beans out and use the whole thing. Lots of ideas.
I have been very sick the last 2 weeks. could not keep anything down, Feeling better wanted to be careful what I ate and rice pudding is cool and soothing but expensive, was also reading a French book where they are cooking chicken fricassee in occupied France. the chicken recipe Chef Billy I liked so much it will be leading me to many more new things to cook! thank you, chef Billy. will try them tomorrow and have a feeling they will be wonderful!
You nailed it 👍
I made this for potluck and EVERYONE loved it! I sent them your video:)
Chef, I just made this, and it’s perfect! It’s exactly what I wanted it to be, thank you so much.
I’m going to make it right now! Thank you Billy! I just found you and subscribed !!! Looking forward to your other videos coming !!!
I just made this and I think my stove is a bit weak because after 25 mins of cooking it on low it was still like a soup, I had to raise the temperature a little to thicken it up and as a result the grains are still a little bit crunchy … The flavor though is absolutely perfect, just the right amount of sweetness. I'll adjust the temperature to suit my stove next time and I'm sure it will turn out perfect. Thank you for the recipe!
My dad is hypoglycaemic because he refused to eat but when I serve him this pudding he actually eat full serving 😭🙏 thank you so much
I have 2 and a half cups of extra rice from dinner so I am so going to make this tonight. Thanks for a great recipe 😀
My Mom made the best rice pudding and bread pudding. It’s still my favorite dessert! I don’t like raisins on mine! ♥️
Have you seen the price of vanilla beans?
Yes, we always have a vanilla bean available. Get real, sir. How about you start out with extract. 😉
I just made this and I can't begin to thank you enough! I've made different puddings in the past including my nonnas recipe and this is by far thee absolute best I've ever tried. The only thing I did different was to add a bit of lime zest and ohhhh man!! Boom!! Thank you good sir. 😊
Added cinnamon. Ruined my life's work.
