Growing up in a middle eastern home, going out to eat for any reason was considered a crime. We legit never went to restaurants. My siblings and I would get so annoyed whenever my mom would make us rice pudding instead of taking us out for ice cream or buying us candy. I totally appreciate that now and probably do the same to my kids 😂 it’s funny how life works. Anyways this rice pudding is really delicious, reminds me of my childhood and is so easy to make. Here’s my moms OG recipe. Ps you can totally make this dairy free and with less sugar.

Instructions

Combine 8 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of short grain rice in a pot. Keep stirring on high heat until it starts to bubble and thicken. Make sure you keep stirring, or else your milk will start to stick to the bottom of the pot and cause the pudding to burn. Once it thickens, reduce the heat and continue to stir until it turns into a pudding-like consistency. Add whatever flavoring you like; we add crystallized vanilla powder and sometimes cinnamon on the top. Allow it to cool and store in the fridge.
