This recipe brings back so many great childhood memories! 

 My mom used to make it when I was growing up and it was always my absolute favorite! 

 My siblings and I would wait so patiently for the rice to cook, for the pudding to bake, and then finally for it to cool off enough for us to eat it.

 It never lasted very long before it was gone back then, and it doesn't last long now when I make it for my daughter and I.

The custard is sweet and creamy and the sprinkle of cinnamon on top adds a perfect touch of flavor.

 You could jazz it up and add some chocolate chips, pumpkin, raisins, almond extract instead of vanilla, or even some blueberries to the custard and rice before you bake it.

 When I make this recipe, I always use leftover rice from the refrigerator. It saves time not having to cook it before it bakes, since the baking time is quite long.

 This recipe is tried and true and it's been in the family for 30+ years. I'm not sure where the original recipe came from since it was always in my mom's recipe box on a recipe card, handwritten.

 I eventually copied it, made some minor changes and now share it with all of you here!

    Ok. Time to update my grocery list.

    What is 1.2 tsp is it 1/2?

    I didn't know rice pudding was served warm. I've only eaten it cold.

    Yes it is 1/2. Typo, thanks for pointing that out! I like this the best right out of the oven, but can also be eaten at room temp. It is amazing! :)

      Could this be made with almond milk (neutral flavor) or coconut milk (slightly coco nutty flavor) instead?

      I ask for myself as well, because I am allergic to milk and would love to be able to have rice pudding again!

      I don't know anything about almond or coconut milk, but I did some google searching and I found quite a few people using almond milk in rice pudding and it working well. Not sure how they made their rice pudding, but I'd say it's worth a try! If you do try it, let me know if it turns out! :)

      I use vanilla soy milk in mine and seems to work just fine in my opinion.

      Have you tried Lactaid which is a lactose free milk? That's what we use. Or almond milk which would add another layer of flavor that might be equally as delicious

      Lol! It is Tupperware! They had a line of baking dishes back in the day. My Mom bought them when I was a kid and it's the only thing we've ever baked the rice pudding in! :)

    I will use almond milk for this...I've never had or made rice pudding but this one being baked sounds good... not sure I'd like it cold.

    I made this and it was good, however, the rice was hard and I cooked it completely. Any suggestions?

      I forgot to add, that we like it cold, so I completely cooled it then put in fridge overnight. Other than the rice being hard, it was really good.

      Hi Erin! Sorry the rice turned out hard. We've made this dozens of times over the years and haven't had that problem before. I would try doubling the custard part of the recipe and maybe the rice would stay softer for you that way. Hopefully it works out next time! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    This looks exactly like my Mum's rice pudding, never been able to find a recipe until now! Brings back memories of it being eaten hot, lukewarm or cold with home preserved fruit in syrup.
