Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 star anise (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In the inner pot of your Instant Pot pressure cooker, combine the rice, milk, water, sugar, star anise, ground cinnamon, raisins, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Mix well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed and that there are no large lumps of cinnamon.
- Set Pressure Cooking: Close the lid and lock it into position. Press the MANUAL (pressure cooking) button and adjust the cooking time to 5 minutes.
- Natural Release: When the cooking cycle finishes, wait about 7 minutes to allow the pressure to naturally release before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
- Finish and Taste: Once the pressure pin has dropped, open the lid and give the pudding a good stir. Stir in the unsalted butter, and taste the pudding. Add additional sweetener if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or chilled according to your preference. Enjoy the creamy and flavorful rice pudding!
Notes
- Use medium or short grain rice for a creamier pudding.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the water slightly or cook a few minutes longer.
- The star anise is optional but adds a lovely aromatic flavor.
- You can substitute raisins with other dried fruits like currants or chopped dates.
- For a vegan version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar.
