Creamy instant pot rice pudding recipe using white basmati rice and sweetened condensed milk (you can use milkmaid or any sweetened condensed milk) is the one of the most easy eggless instant pot desserts you can make.
This is a super easy, delicious, quick cinnamon flavored rice pudding without eggs, which can be prepared so easily in the instant pot using just 4 ingredients other than water, one of the ingredients being cinnamon powder.
I recommend using long grain white rice like basmati rice but you may try other white rice as well. In fact, rice pudding is a very popular dessert in many parts of the world, and this type of cinnamon flavored rice pudding recipe is also known as arroz con leche recipe, which is a Mexican dessert as well.
This recipe is very simple to follow and you can add a pinch of cinnamon powder or vanilla essence to make it a classic cinnamon flavored or vanilla flavored white rice pudding or you can add cashew nuts, saffron and a pinch of cardamom powder to make it an Indian style rich kheer (payasam).
You just mix add the contents in the instant pot, set it for cooking and once its done and the pressure is released naturally, you can just give a stir with the condensed milk and the delicious, creamy and rich rice pudding is ready!
This instant pot rice pudding recipe is so easy and simple and I only used minimal ingredients to prepare the rice pudding and it turned out very delicious.
In fact the rice pudding was more creamy and rich than we make using any traditional methods.
If you are a beginner with using instant pot, make sure to read all the manual and notes that comes with the instant for safety while cooking with the pot.
I tried this rice pudding in both 6 quart 6 in 1 multi use instant pot and also this 6 quart 7 in 1 multi use instant pot to make 4 to 6 very generous servings of sweet rice pudding.
Both the above mentioned 6 quart instant pots have the ‘Porridge’ setting, which is what we use for making this rice pudding.
The rice pudding I made was very sweet, creamy and delicious, you may reduce the sweetened slightly if you wish, by adding a little more chilled milk (about ½ cup of extra milk) once you have prepared the rice pudding or you may reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk and replace with little more whole milk if you wish.
Make sure to use the exact amount of liquid to cook the rice in the instant pot for the same results, although you may slightly increase the amount of liquid in case you want to thin it out further.
If you reduce the amount of liquid, there is a high chance of the pudding burning at the bottom, so make sure not to reduce the amount of liquid to cook the rice as mentioned in the recipe.

Can You Make Rice Pudding Without Condensed Milk?
Yes, you can also make delicious rice pudding without condensed milk if you do not have condensed milk at home.
Instead of condensed milk, you can use evaporated milk but you will need to add sugar to sweeten the pudding.
This is because, unlike condensed milk which is usually sweetened, evaporated milk comes unsweetened usually and so you will need to add sugar to add sweetness to the pudding.
If you do not have both condensed milk & evaporated milk, you can also use milk and sugar to make rice pudding.
Rice pudding made with condensed milk will be more creamy in texture though.
To use just milk and sugar to make rice pudding without using condensed milk, you will need about 1 cup of sugar for ½ cup rice (as used in this recipe).
You can add the sugar along with the rice to the instant pot and the let the rice cook in the milk and sugar mixture.
Once the rice is cooked, you may add an extra 1.5 cups of cold milk (or as needed) to the rice pudding to adjust the consistency of the pudding.
