This year I started making my family rice pudding in the Instant Pot!  We have been cautious with staying at home this year, and we often went two-plus weeks between grocery trips.   I sometimes had to get creative when serving breakfast or lunch.  I actually served Instant Pot rice pudding with fruit to my kids for lunch more than a couple of times during virtual school.  There are no rules about eating dessert for lunch in 2020.  🙂

I’ve combined two of my favorite things.  Instant Pot rice pudding and eggnog.  This dish is perfect for the holidays.  I don’t know about you, but this has been a crazy year, and the last thing I want to do is stress out about Christmas baking.  This is a super easy, comforting, and festive holiday dish you can whip up in a matter of minutes with just a few ingredients.  It’s a win for everyone!

You need a few easy ingredients for this recipe, and besides the eggnog, I bet you have them on hand.

1 cup of rice – I like to use jasmine rice or long-grain rice- avoid using quick rice in this recipe.  

1 cup of water

1 cup of milk

2 cups of egg nog- use one cup before you pressure cook and one cup afterward.

1 egg

cinnamon

nutmeg

1/2 cup of raisins

This rice pudding has a cook time of just 12 minutes in your Instant Pot.   It turns out sweet, creamy, and comforting.  The perfect way to bring some comfort to your loved ones this Christmas season.   The reason why I love this recipe so much is that it is so easy.

All you need to do is:

1. Add rice, water, milk, and 1 cup of eggnog into your inner pot.  Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins.
2. Secure your Instant Pot’s lid.  Cook on the “rice” setting, which is 12 minutes.
3. Quick Release pressure on your Instant Pot.
4. In a measuring cup, mix the egg, the second cup of eggnog, and 1 cup of rice pudding.   Add the entire mixture back into your inner pot and mix into the rice pudding while it is still piping hot.
5. Serve warm or cold.  It will be delicious either way.
