Instant Pot Brown Rice Pudding (Dairy-Free)

Last Updated on August 30, 2019

You’re going to love how easy it is to make Instant Pot Rice Pudding. This recipe uses brown rice and is dairy-free and vegan.

Are you a rice pudding fan? I am! I love how sticky and full of chewy texture it is. It’s more common to make rice pudding out of leftover cooked rice, but if you have a hankering and want to make it from scratch, then you’ve come to the right place.

Instant Pot Rice Pudding Ingredients

This is such a simple recipe, you only need five ingredients!

You’ll need:

• long-grain brown rice
• unsweetened dairy-free milk
• vanilla seeds or vanilla extract
• maple syrup
• ground cinnamon

How to Make Instant Pot Rice Pudding

This is one of those fantastic recipes where you just combine all of the ingredients, lock on the lid, and let it go. Brown rice takes 22 minutes in the pressure cooker to cook, but I promise it’s worth the wait. This yummy vegan dessert can be eaten right out of the pot, or can be served at room temperature or even cold.

I do recommend using organic brown rice if at all possible. The reason is because rice has been shown to be contaminated with arsenic. Some folks believe that white rice might be a better option to avoid the outer bran layer, but I think consuming organic brown rice occasionally should be fine.
