This Instant Pot Rice Pudding is such an easy, delicious dessert! I love cozy recipes like this during the winter. (gluten-free, vegan)
Rice pudding is pure comfort food to me. It makes me want to curl up in front of the fire and forget about how cold it is outside. It has just the right cozy flavor for this time of year.
This Instant Pot rice pudding couldn’t be easier to make. While I sometimes use brown rice to make baked rice pudding, I really prefer the texture of white rice in this pudding. Coconut milk keeps this recipe dairy-free, and it thickens up nicely even without the use of eggs.
I like to sprinkle cinnamon and fruit on top of the pudding after it cooks, but you could also add cinnamon and raisins to the pot before cooking if you’d like. Either way, you’ll love the flavor of this Instant Pot rice pudding. And you can’t beat the price – just $.27 per serving!

Made it today, it was only ok at best. Not like real traditional rice pudding. I’ll continue looking for a more traditional recipe.
Annemarie says
I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t turn out well for you. What kind of rice did you use?
Sam says
I’m delighted with this recipe. For years I have been trying to replicate my Grandmother’s recipe for arroz con dulce (sweet coconut rice pudding. I try making it from scratch just like hers but some was missing every time. So… I came across this recipe and although I didn’t have all the ingredients I use 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Once I topped with cinnamon IT WAS AWESOME!!! I’m sorry for the yelling, but I’m super exited about it! Thank you for helping me bring some of my childhood memories.
Annemarie says
I’m so glad to hear! This is definitely an old fashioned comfort food recipe.
Denise says
Can you add raisons prior to cooking or would you recommend after?
Annemarie says
I haven’t tried this recipe with raisins, but you could probably do it either way. I would personally add them after cooking.
Mary says
What should I do if I don’t have maple syrup? Add more coconut milk? Leave recipe alone?
Annemarie says
You could substitute another sweetener, like honey or sugar.
Denise says
I’ve been told to not use milk in the instant pot due to it curdling. Will this recipe curdle or be creamy?
Annemarie says
This comes out creamy for me. I use coconut milk.
