We are constantly on the lookout for recipes that have a short list of ingredients and that will be enjoyed by the whole family. Slow cooker rice pudding is a crowd pleaser because it had a lovely smoothe texture making it perfect for little ones to enjoy too. It is also the perfect basis for a delicious snack and gives everyone the opportunity to add their favourite toppings and accompaniments.

Traditionally rice pudding is a sweet dish but we'll leave that part up to you. The flavour combinations are limitless. You can add whatever takes your fancy.

To make slow cooker rice-pudding you literally need two ingredients to make the magic happen. Pudding rice and milk. The great thing about this recipe is that you can use any milk of your choice. We prefer to use unsweetened almond milk but you can use regular, soy or oat milk for example. It is really versatile and delicious.

This basic recipe will give you silky smoothe rice pudding in just four hours. It is the perfect quantity of milk to rice which results in a gorgeous texture. You can pop them in to the slow cooker and forget it completely.

As for flavour?

Traditionally rice pudding is a sweet dish but we'll leave that part up to you. The flavour combinations are limitless. You can add whatever takes your fancy. Jam is a really popular choice among children. Why not try cinnamon and maple syrup with some raisins thrown in for the last thirty minutes?

Oh and let's not forget peanut butter and sliced banana - delicious!
