Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 300°. And while oven is preheating, place a 9 X 13" pan half filled with hot water in the oven. You will use this as a water bath for baking the rice pudding.
- Whisk milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl. Add the honey and stir. Honey will not incorporate well.
- Stir in the rice and keep gently stirring to blend in the honey.
- Pour into a casserole dish that will fit into the 9x13" pan of water you have warming in the oven. Sprinkle generously with nutmeg.
- A Large oven safe bowl or baking dish will work well for baking the rice pudding in the water bath. This serves to keep the rice pudding nice and creamy.
- Place the casserole dish into the 9x13 water bath and bake for 45 - 60 min until knife inserted comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
If you love raisins, by all means add them (or leave them out, as I prefer). You can also add nuts and chopped dates before baking.
Be sure to pin and save for later!

Larissa says
When is the Saigon cinnamon used that is mentioned in the article before the recipe?
Chris Cole says
Why is there nutmeg ? And no cinnamon in the instructions but vise versa in the ingredients? And I’m confused as to what you use to bake the rice in as it changes half way through to a lg baking dish or bowl from being a casserole dish ?
Emily Buys says
Hi Chris, I’m not sure where the confusion is because the cinnamon is listed in the instructions and in the ingredients. I didn’t list the nutmeg in the ingredient list as it’s just used for sprinkling over the top, but I went ahead and added it to the ingredient list as well, to avoid confusion. As for the baking dish, I have the same dish throughout, but put a single-serving in a small bowl, to eat. I don’t typically eat out of the casserole dish – as I’m sure you don’t either. 😉
Evelyn Rizzo says
Can sugar be used in place of honey and how much?
Emily Buys says
You could definitely give it a try, Evelyn. Because honey is sweeter I would try 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sugar.
lori says

No, no need to cover, Lori. I hope you enjoy it.
Lynell says
What is a2 milk because I really want to try try this rice pudding
Emily Buys says
Not all grocery stores carry this, but it’s just a milk without one of the hormones. You can definitely use regular milk in this recipe, Lynell!
Leonor Perez says
Can Splenda be used in place of honey
Emily Buys says
I would say so, Leonor! As with all things sweetened with Splenda, it will taste slightly different, but it should work.
Marg says
Do I need to put a cover on it when I put it in the oven.. thanks
Emily Buys says
No cover needed, Marg!
Kate says
How can a knife be inserted into the rice pudding and come out clean? Could you please clarify?
Emily Buys says
If it’s cooked well, and not too wet inside, the knife should come out clean, Kate. Hope that helps!
