Rice pudding is a creamy, comforting dessert made from simple ingredients including rice, milk, sugar, and often flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Its origins span across numerous cuisines, with variations found in Indian kheer, Middle Eastern roz bel laban, and European rice puddings, highlighting its global appeal. Nutritionally, rice pudding provides carbohydrates from the rice and protein and calcium from the milk. Versions made with whole-grain rice or low-fat milk can be healthier options. However, it can be high in sugar and calories depending on the recipe, so portion control is key for maintaining balance. Its warm, smooth texture and sweet flavor make it a popular choice for a satisfying treat. Many recipes can be adapted for dietary needs, such as dairy-free alternatives using coconut or almond milk. Rice pudding remains a versatile dish enjoyed either as a dessert or snack worldwide.
