This microwave rice pudding in a mug is a quick, creamy, and comforting dessert that brings the nostalgic flavour of classic rice pudding to your table in minutes. Made with simple ingredients and cooked entirely in the microwave, it’s a perfectly portioned treat for one or two.

Ingredients

250 ml (1 cup) milk

1 egg

2 tbsp caster sugar

Pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 x 125 g tubs microwave long-grain white rice

Ground cinnamon, extra, to dust

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the milk, egg, caster sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Divide the milk mixture evenly between two 350 ml microwave-safe mugs.
  3. Open one tub of microwave rice, fluff the grains with a fork, and add to one mug. Repeat with the second tub and mug, stirring gently to combine.
  4. Microwave one mug at a time on 30% power for 6 minutes, stopping halfway to stir. The pudding should thicken and become creamy.
  5. Let the mug stand for 2 minutes before serving. Dust with extra cinnamon and add a splash of milk or cream if desired.

Notes

Add raisins or chopped dates for a traditional touch.

Use maple syrup instead of sugar for deeper sweetness.

Swap vanilla for almond extract or add a pinch of nutmeg for variation.

For chocolate rice pudding, stir in 1 tsp cocoa powder before cooking.

Use leftover cooked rice instead of microwave rice if preferred.
