If you’re a fan of creamy and delicious rice pudding, then you’re in for a treat! With the Power Pressure Cooker XL, you can easily whip up a batch of this classic dessert in no time. This innovative kitchen appliance takes all the guesswork out of cooking, allowing you to achieve perfect results every time. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just want a decadent treat, this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
To begin, gather your ingredients. You’ll need 1 cup of white rice, 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. These simple ingredients come together to create a rich and creamy rice pudding that will be a hit with everyone. Plus, you probably already have these items in your pantry!
Once you have your ingredients ready, it’s time to get cooking. Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step removes any excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming mushy. After rinsing, add the rice, milk, water, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the inner pot of your Power Pressure Cooker XL. Give everything a good stir to combine.
Now, it’s time to lock the lid in place and set your Power Pressure Cooker XL to the “Rice” setting. If your cooker doesn’t have a specific rice setting, simply set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before using the quick release valve to release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid, taking care to avoid any hot steam.
Preparation for Cooking Rice Pudding
Before you begin cooking rice pudding in your Power Pressure Cooker XL, there are a few steps you need to follow to ensure the best results. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Gather all the ingredients needed for the rice pudding recipe. This typically includes rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and any additional flavorings or toppings you prefer.
2. Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch. This step will help prevent the rice from becoming too sticky during cooking and will result in a creamier pudding.
3. Once the rice is rinsed, drain it well and set it aside. You can use any type of rice for rice pudding, but short-grain or medium-grain rice is most commonly used for its creamy texture.
4. Prepare the Power Pressure Cooker XL by ensuring it’s clean and in proper working condition. Make sure the pressure release valve is closed before adding any ingredients.
5. Measure out the desired amount of milk for your recipe. The amount of milk will depend on the quantity of rice and personal preference. Generally, a 1:2 ratio of rice to milk is used for rice pudding.
6. Add the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and any other desired flavorings to the pressure cooker pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
7. Once all the ingredients are added to the pot, secure the lid onto the Power Pressure Cooker XL and lock it in place. Make sure the pressure release valve is closed.
8. Set the cooking time and pressure according to your cooker’s instructions or the specific recipe you’re following. Rice pudding typically cooks at high pressure for around 6-8 minutes.
9. After the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for a few minutes. Then, carefully use the quick release method to release any remaining pressure.
10. Once the pressure is fully released, carefully remove the lid and give the rice pudding a gentle stir. The pudding may appear thin initially, but it will thicken as it cools.
11. Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled, topped with your favorite garnishes such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or fresh fruits. Enjoy!

Add the rice and liquid to the cooker
Once you have prepared all the ingredients, it’s time to add the rice and liquid to the power pressure cooker XL. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor in your rice pudding.
Step 1: Measure the rice
Start by measuring the desired amount of rice for your recipe. Typically, a rice pudding recipe calls for 1 cup of rice, but you can adjust the quantity according to your preference.
Step 2: Rinse the rice
Next, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water to remove any excess starch. This will help prevent the rice from becoming sticky or clumpy when cooked.
Step 3: Add the rice to the cooker
Once the rice is rinsed, add it to the power pressure cooker XL’s inner pot. Spread it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Add the liquid
After adding the rice, it’s time to add the liquid. For rice pudding, the most common choice is a combination of milk and water. The milk provides creaminess, while the water helps prevent scorching.
Step 5: Ratio of rice to liquid
The ideal ratio of rice to liquid for rice pudding in a power pressure cooker XL is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of liquid. However, you can adjust the ratio according to your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker pudding, you can decrease the liquid slightly.
Make sure to use the measuring cup that came with your power pressure cooker XL to ensure accurate measurements.
Once the rice and liquid are added, gently stir the mixture to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Now that the rice and liquid are in the power pressure cooker XL, you are ready to start the cooking process.
Set the pressure cooker to cook mode
Once you have all the ingredients prepared and ready, it’s time to set your Power Pressure Cooker XL to cook mode. Here’s how to do it:
- Make sure the pressure release valve is closed before proceeding.
- Plug in your pressure cooker and press the “Cook” button.
- Use the “Adjust” button to select the desired cooking time. For rice pudding, a typical cooking time is around 10 minutes.
- Once you’ve set the cooking time, the pressure cooker will automatically start building up pressure.
- The display will show the current cooking progress, and you’ll be able to hear the pressure cooker working.
- After the cooking time is complete, the pressure cooker will automatically switch to the “Keep Warm” mode to keep your rice pudding warm and ready to serve.
It’s important to follow these steps carefully to ensure that your rice pudding is cooked properly and safely. Once the pressure cooker has finished cooking and switched to the “Keep Warm” mode, you can safely open the lid and enjoy your delicious homemade rice pudding.
Releasing pressure and serving the rice pudding
Once the cooking time has elapsed, it is important to release the pressure before opening the Power Pressure Cooker XL. There are two main methods for releasing the pressure: natural release and quick release.
Natural release:
In natural release, you allow the pressure to subside gradually on its own. This method is best for dishes that are more delicate and can be easily overcooked, like rice pudding. To perform a natural release, simply turn off the Power Pressure Cooker XL and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the pressure will decrease naturally, and the indicator on the pressure valve will drop.
Quick release:
If you’re in a hurry or don’t have the time to wait for a natural release, you can perform a quick release. To do this, carefully move the pressure release valve to the venting position. Be cautious, as hot steam will rapidly escape from the valve. Ensure that your hands and face are clear of the steam. Once the steam has completely vented and the pressure indicator has dropped, it is safe to open the Power Pressure Cooker XL.
After releasing the pressure, carefully remove the lid of the Power Pressure Cooker XL. Be cautious of any remaining steam that may be trapped inside. Use oven mitts or silicone mitts to protect your hands from the heat.
Serve the rice pudding hot and with your choice of toppings. Popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Note:
It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for releasing the pressure on your specific model of Power Pressure Cooker XL. Different models may have slightly different methods.
Naturally release the pressure
After the rice pudding has finished cooking in the Power Pressure Cooker XL, it is important to allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid. This is to ensure that the pudding has fully cooked and to avoid any potential burns from the hot steam.
To naturally release the pressure, simply turn off the pressure cooker and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the pressure inside the cooker will gradually decrease on its own. You can monitor the pressure by checking the pressure indicator on the cooker.
Once the pressure has fully released, it is safe to open the lid of the cooker. Be careful when removing the lid, as there may still be some steam trapped inside. Use oven mitts or a towel to protect your hands from any hot steam.
Before serving the rice pudding, give it a gentle stir to ensure that it is evenly cooked. The pudding should be creamy and thick, with the rice grains fully cooked and tender.
Now you can enjoy your delicious homemade rice pudding cooked in the Power Pressure Cooker XL!
