I grew up eating rice pudding just like this one and I'm so glad I found this recipe because it is really good! Added the raisins because I had some on hand and it was so good!

This turned out great! I tripled the recipe as I had 6 cups of leftover basmati to use up! I didn't add the raisins and I sprinkled in cinnamon instead of nutmeg as that's what I prefer. Thanks for a great recipe!

I love rice pudding (without raisins, of course!) and this may be the best I've tried. Quick, creamy, easy, and a great use for leftover rice. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I really, really enjoyed this rice pudding. I used cooked brown rice instead of white rice as a personal preference. The pudding is creamy and delicious! Thanks for posting.

This was so yummy. I used leftover jasmine rice, which was still so delicious. My family loves jasmine rice. Added the raisins and topped off with cinnamon at serving. It was really good.
