# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No stovetop stirring marathons—just stir, bake, and let the magic happen in the oven.
  • The condensed milk gives this pudding a lush, creamy sweetness that never fails to get a smile.
02 -
  • I once skipped stirring during baking—the rice turned out patchy and stodgy, not creamy all through.
  • Letting it sit for just ten minutes after baking makes it spoonable but still warm and luscious.
03 -
  • Never skip rinsing the rice for that silky-smooth, non-gummy texture.
  • A double splash of vanilla secretly makes the pudding extra fragrant—no one can quite put their finger on it, but they’ll always ask why yours tastes better.
