This slow cooker 3-ingredient rice pudding is one of those delightful comfort foods that brings back memories of simpler times. Growing up in the Midwest, my grandma always had a pot of rice pudding simmering on the stove during the colder months, making the whole house smell like cinnamon and vanilla. Now, with my busy career, I’ve reinvented this classic dish to fit into my schedule by using a slow cooker. This recipe is perfect for those who love a creamy, sweet treat without the fuss. Rice pudding is not just about the comforting taste; it’s about the nostalgia, the warmth it brings to your heart, and the simplicity that allows anyone, even with the busiest of lives, to make and enjoy.

Rice pudding is incredibly versatile and pairs well with so many things! Serve it warm with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. It’s also delightful with some fresh or poached fruit on top, like berries or sliced peaches, to add a bit of freshness. If you’re having it for breakfast, consider pairing it with a side of scrambled eggs or some crispy bacon for a complete, satisfying meal.
