    Rice Pudding with Condensed Milk

    This is, in my humble opinion, hands down the best rice pudding ever. I mean it - ever.

    Rich. Creamy. Sweet and indulgent. The epitome of comfort food. A hug in a bowl. A one-pot wonder!

    Condensed milk rice pudding is made entirely on the stovetop - it's super easy, perfect whether served hot or cold and totally forgiving. Honestly, it’s almost impossible to mess up.
