Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q1: Can I use brown rice?
Yes, but increase cooking time to 3½–4 hours and expect a slightly chewier texture.
Q2: Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! Replace milk and cream with full-fat coconut milk or almond milk. Coconut milk gives the creamiest texture.
Q3: Why is my rice pudding too thin?
It thickens as it cools. If still thin:
Cook 20–30 minutes longer uncovered
Or stir in 1–2 tbsp cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water)
Q4: Why did it get too thick?
Stir in warm milk 2–4 tbsp at a time until desired consistency.
Q5: Can I double the recipe?
