Rice pudding is one of those comfort foods that just soothes the soul. Our recipe for Creamy Rice Pudding takes this down-home dessert back-to-basics with its light vanilla flavor and creamy texture. It is the creamiest rice pudding you'll ever taste! A bit of butter and other tasty add -ins make this version unbelievably delicious!
Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat a 1 ½ quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour into the casserole dish or 8 glass ramekins and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden (pudding will be loose). Serve warm, or cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
