1 cup sugar
8 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground nutmeg or cinnamon, as desired

Preheat the empty slow cooker on high heat for 15 minutes.
Combine the rice, sugar, and first measure of milk in the slow cooker. Mix well then cover the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 4 hours or until the rice is fully cooked.
Beat together the eggs, remaining milk, vanilla, and salt until fully blended. While stirring, pour the egg mixture into the cooked rice and mix until completely incorporated.

Cmetz REVIEW:
May 7, 2021This recipe is PERFECT! I made it in class with my students using the skim milk they often (cringe) throw away. We're not allowed to save it because of COVID. We are making it again today with 1 1/2 times the ingredients for a larger batch. Crossing my fingers that it turns out. THANK YOU FOR THIS!! My students all wanted the recipe!!

February 24, 2019I love love love this recipe! I've made it many times. The only adjustment I needed was to heat the milk first. If you don't, it takes FOREVER to cook. If you do heat the milk first, you should check it in 3.5 hours - mine cooked very quickly with the heated milk. You won't be disappointed with this one!

What do you mean by âthe first measure of milkâ?Your recipe does not state â8 cups of milk, dividedâ.Please explain, thank you.

There are two listings of milk in the ingredient list. The first is 8 cups and the second is 1/2 cup.

mrs_bentley REVIEW:
November 3, 2018with all the rave reviews i thought i couldnt go wrong - something wrong happened.followed everything to a t. i used basmati rice & cut down the amount of sugar & used 2 stevia tablets. the rice was overall, rice grains were gluggy/mushy but seperated(?)- everything else was ok but it wasnt what i wanted. dont think id bother again, it was a longer then what i wanted experiment.

Guest Foodie REVIEW:
October 10, 2018Perfect Slow Cooker Rice Pudding............seems to be just exactly that! I just finished making it and tasted it and it really is delicious and the rice was not mushy, it was tender and smooth. I made it as written except for one little thing........I used two egg yolks and not the whole egg. I will be making this again and again this fall/winter. My rice cooker must run hot because I cooked it on Low and it still only took 4 1/2 hours. I did heat the milk in the micro before I put into crockpot with rice and sugar. Thank you for this wonderfully easy recipe.

Sara REVIEW:
April 29, 2017I tried this today and it tasted awesome. However after 4 hours on high the rice was still uncooked. My Crock Pot must not heat up enough (although it cooks everything else fine). I did use Basmati rice, so maybe the cook time is longer? After 4 hours I transferred it to a pot and simmered it for 20 min. to cook the rice and then added the egg and vanilla. I didn't even use the extra milk and it turned out great, no egg curdles, just kept wisking constantly as I added the egg. I then simmered for another 12 minutes, removed from the heat and let it sit for an hour or so. Served it still warm and everyone raved about it and wanted more. I will definitely make this again. However, I am told that I will have to make it the same way....double cooked rice pudding! (I also forgot the cinnamon/nutmeg) Thanks for the recipe!!

do you think making it with brown rice would make it less mushy
-
CDKitchen Staff Reply:
Brown rice requires a much longer cooking time than white rice and we haven't tested that in this recipe so you'd have to experiment. If you do use brown rice I would recommend taking the advice below about heating the milk beforehand.

Kathi REVIEW:
December 25, 2016Tried this recipe a couple of days ago and was not disappointed! I use to make it in a double boiler on the stove with a recipe handed down by my mom but now will be using our crock pot to make rice pudding much more often. Everyone loves it, warm or cold, it's divine! I didn't change a thing. Thanks so much for posting.

Anonymous REVIEW:
October 8, 2016Here's a trick for those who have trouble with this recipe making the rice mushy - heat the milk first. My sister made this and it turned out great but she has a crock pot that often overcooks things. I made it in my crock pot that never overcooks and it didn't turn out. I tried again this time heating the milk (about to the temp that you scald at) and it was PERFECT! Also, to the person that had egg whites floating in it, there is no way you did that right! Try again, it is a good recipe.

lin REVIEW:
February 22, 2016This recipe should be scrapped. way too sweet, too much milk, rice was overcooked, when I put eggs in, they curdled and I had egg whites floating throughout. I even tempered eggs first w/some of the hot milk. I did not add the extra 1/2 cup of milk w/the eggs. still too thin.
-
CDKitchen Staff Reply:
Oh my - if you had egg whites "floating throughout" then it sounds like you didn't beat them enough before adding them (since it says to combine them with the additional 1/2 cup milk maybe you skipped this step?). Since crock pots all heat differently it's hard to troubleshoot when recipes don't turn out for someone else. It may be that your crock pot doesn't heat up fast enough, that's one reason I've encountered when rice doesn't cook properly in a crock pot. You could try heating the milk before adding it if that's the case.

November 22, 2013This was a little eggier than I thought it would be. Tasted good and was sweet enough just the texture was more eggy.

littlebirdoz REVIEW:
August 30, 2013I will cut back on the sugar. I only added 3/4 of a cup and it was way to sweet for us. But overall a good recipe.

Trish65 REVIEW:
March 14, 2013Really enjoyed this pudding and it was simple to make. I followed the recipe exactly the first time and it turned out too soupy. The second time I made it, I cut the milk in half to just a tad over 4 cups and it turned out perfectly. Some folks might like it on the soupy side; we like it a little more firm.

January 18, 2013Absolutely delicious! Grandson's ate is as a porridge for breakfast and loved it. Making it again tonight!

Cindy REVIEW:
February 25, 2012We love this pudding recipe. It really cooks the rice so the consistency isn't rice-like but mushier. My husband likes it better this way. Easy to make and smells great while cooking!

lovelylamma REVIEW:
January 15, 2010I made the pudding with skim milk instead of whole milk. It was very delish! I think next time I won't cook it for 4 hrs. in slow cooker as it was a little mushy, but the family loved it.
