Storage Instructions:

Cover the rice pudding tightly with plastic wrap (you don’t want a skin developing on top) and keep it in the fridge. Eat it within 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months, then thaw in the refrigerator overnight and give it a good stir before serving in case it has separated a bit.

Variations and Substitutions:

Plain long grain white rice is the best option for rice pudding, as brown rice won’t taste or look good and other kinds of rice don’t have the correct texture for this dish. There are plenty of tweaks you can consider though, such as adding saffron and cardamom, throwing in some dried fruits or nuts, or sprinkling brown sugar on top.
