Rice Pudding ingredients:
- 2 quarts whole milk
- 1 cup arborio rice, (don’t not rinse the rice)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 Teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
We start this delicious recipe by putting 2 quarts of whole milk into a 4 quart heavy duty saucepan. Add 1 cup of arborio rice and 1 cup of sugar to the pan.
Next , add 2 Tablespoons of butter and 1 Teaspoon of vanilla to the pan. Stir the ingredients together and cook over medium to high heat until it comes to a boil. After it starts to boil, reduce the heat and simmer the mixture uncovered, stirring every ten to fifteen minutes, for about an hour. After an hour of cooking on top of the stove and stirring ,the rice should be tender and the pudding thick.
Just before the pudding is done cooking whisk two eggs lightly in a medium bowl. Remove the pan with the pudding in it off of the stove. Slowly add 1 cup of the pudding in the pan to the eggs in the bowl while you whisk. We are tempering the eggs before we add them to the cooked pudding. Stir the egg / pudding mixture back into the pan with the rest of the pudding, then stir in 1 cup of cream.
Pour the rice pudding into a 13×9 inch glass or ceramic baking dish. and sprinkle with cinnamon. Chill the rice pudding covered for at least 3 hours.
The recipe for CopyCat Kozy Shack Rice Pudding made me a large bowl full of rice pudding. Even tho it made a lot, it didn’t last long in this house with just the two of us. It was just too good to resist. Make it and ENJOY!

This looks like such a tasty treat! Can’t wait to try it out!
Wow, I had no idea they sold rice pudding in stores 😆
It’s just something I grew up having, both pudding and rice porridge with the porridge simply being a little less sweet and not as thick as the pudding
Chantal when my brothers and sisters were little my mom would make rice and we kids would add a little sugar and milk to it and eat it as dessert. WE loved it. Is that what rice porridge would be?
Amazing! Came out better than KozyShack pudding in my opinion.
Thank you Eirn
Fantastic!!! Easy breezy scrumptious !! Biggest mistake I made was not making the entire amount the recipe listed. I used half the ingredients and the rice pudding came out the pot, into bowls and devoured within minutes!
Awesome! Thank you for the input Elizabeth
OK Bunny, I looked at many knock offs for this pudding. I even bought a recipe on line and compared many reviews. Everything brought me back to this one. So I tried it. Even though I was so compelled to make modifications to the recipe you provide, I committed to follow it to the letter figuring I would make adjustments to the next batch as needed. Well I was so wrong. This is perfect as is. Do not deviate it is incredible, follow it to the letter and you will get the perfect rice pudding. I stirred a lot and it was worth it in the end.
I’m so happy you loved it, seriously. I could have eaten the whole bowl myself. Thank you Steve for coming back to tell me you made it, you made my day.
Love this recipe. Turned out exactly like the original version. Love it
Thank you Tanya
I was SO pleased by the texture and flavor of this recipe!! Thank you!
Thank you Suzanne
The best rice pudding I’ve made. I followed the recipe, but was “runnier” than I wanted. Any suggestions?
The only thing I can think of Cheryl is to cook it a little bit longer than you did the first time you make it until it’s the consistency you want it.
I just made this for my daughter who isn’t feeling well! She LOVES rice pudding & always buys the single serve (not cozy) in the store! This is going to knock her socks off lol!! The single ones at store have just been ruined for my daughter!!
You are such a good Mama! YES, she is going to love it so you better stock up on rice honey LOL!
It tastes delicious, but please HELP! My rice didn’t thicken even after cooking it for 1 hour. What did I do wrong? Maybe not bring it to a complete boil?
Jen put it back on the stove and cook it until it thickens. YES bring it to a boil.
This is freaking delightful!! I have tried 3 different recipes in the last 3 days. Trying to find one that tasted like my grams did. . . . . This one is even better! Added bonus that I dont have to do any harm workout today!
Absolutely amazing!!
Can’t wait to make it again.
Perfect recipe. The only thing I added is a sprinkle of brown sugar on top with the cinnamon. YUMM!
This is the best I’ve ever had.
This is sooooo delicious. Thank you for the recipe. It will be one of my new favorites to serve to family!
Your recipe says don’t not rinse it. So yes rinse or no do not rinse? On break for the next two weeks (at least) and the kids want a fun treat 🙂
No sweetie don’t rinse the rice. Let me know what your babies think of it Brianne, I’d love to know!
I’ve been a fan of Kozy Shack since I was little, and this recipe has ruined me to buying it from the store. I made it two nights ago and am working on my second batch now. I use Savory Spice’s Supreme Saigon Cinnamon on top and it is perfect. Thank you!
This is the best rice pudding I have ever made..and I have made many. This recipe is also a very close match to that of Kozy Shack. I have made it with the egg and without. Both are equally good but I actually prefer to leave out the egg since some in our family are sensitive to eggs. The key, as indicated is stirring often during the one hour cook time. Thank-you for this recipe.
I recommend storing more frequently during last 20 minutes. Otherwise, I have made this twice exact time recipe and it is perfect!
Thank you Jen, so glad you liked the rice pudding!
Does it really use 8 cups of milk? Just getting clarification. I can’t wait to try it!
yes 🙂
