Instant Pot Rice Pudding
A soft, creamy pudding from arborio rice, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. It comes off the heat loose and thickens as it cools, so pull it early and let it settle.

Dessert from the rice bag
Rice pudding is the dessert I make when the cupboard looks bare. Rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon. The pot turns that short list into something soft and warm in about half an hour, start to finish.
Arborio is the rice I reach for here. It gives up its starch as it cooks, so the pudding turns creamy on its own. No eggs, and no standing at the stove stirring for an hour.
Take it off loose
The rice cooks in water first, just 4 minutes under pressure, then the milk and sugar go in on Sauté. Milk under pressure can foam and scorch, so it waits its turn. A short simmer and it coats a spoon.
Pull it off the heat looser than you want it, because it thickens a lot as it cools. Pudding waits for nobody. What looks a touch runny in the pot sets up just right in the bowl.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the rice, water, and the pinch of salt in the inner pot and give it one stir.
- Lock the lid and pressure cook for 4 minutes.
- Leave the pot alone until the float valve drops, about 10 minutes. The pressure eases off on its own, and the rice keeps softening as it sits.
- Open the lid and stir. The rice will look loose and a bit soupy. That is right at this point.
- Switch to Sauté on low. Stir in the milk and sugar and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the pudding coats the back of a spoon.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, and raisins. Serve it warm, or chill it and serve it cold.
