Substitutions
- Cooking Oil Spray - you could wipe the dish with a little butter instead.
- White Rice - I use plain white basmati uncooked rice. You can use arborio rice or pudding rice but the cooking time will be much longer.
- Milk - I use semi skimmed milk. But don't use skimmed. You can also use whole milk or dairy free milk such as oat milk, almond milk or soy milk.
- Eggs - I use 2 medium eggs.
- Granulated Sugar - use ordinary white granulated or caster sugar.
- Vanilla Extract - use pure vanilla extract rather than vanilla essence.
- Raisins - raisins are optional. I like them as that's how the recipe was served to me as a child!

I love that this is a thick custard-type pudding. I'm embarrassed to say that I have never made rice pudding. Of course, there's no better time than the present, right? Looks and sounds fabulous. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for sharing.
Neil
I hadn't made this thick baked custard pudding for a long time Kristy. It's a throw back to my childhood days. It brought back great memories. Hope you get a chance to make it! 🙂

We regularly make kheer a.k.a Indian rice pudding and I am really intrigued by this baked version which is like taking the kheer to the next level. I would love to try it in my kitchen.
Neil
Oh yes I've had Indian Kheer and I love it! Thanks for your comment and I hope you get a chance to make this recipe!
David @ Spiced
Oh, I do really enjoy a good custard style rice pudding - they are the perfect way to let the vanilla flavor shine through! I like the addition of raisins here. I need to try this out ASAP, Neil!
Neil
Thanks David. I like the raisins too, although its not everyone's preference. I think they add a lovely extra sweetness which otherwise would need extra sugar!

Ohhh this sort of reminds me of our rice cakes back in the Philippines, looks similar and ingredients are almost similar too. So waht we ususally use are coconut milk instead of milk and glutinour rice instead of normal rice, I bet you will like it we call them "Biko"
Neil
"Biko" sounds like a dessert I would love too Raymond! Definitely!
Michelle
What a fantastic way to enjoy rice pudding! I've never had it baked, but I definitely need to change that. So comforting!
Neil
Thanks Michelle. It's just a good old fashioned dish that my mum and gran made and I thought I would share it. It's too good not to share! 🙂
