Can I freeze homemade rice pudding?

dizzytina

I made some rice pudding my slow cooker yesterday but it was a large portion. We aren't likely to finish it today. Can I freeze it? I don't make it often so it might seem a silly question but with it having rice in I thought I'd better check before throwing it in the freezer.
Thanks

Rice pudding is very freezable, I often make a huge batch on purpose as if I'm gonna stand over a pot and stir it constantly, I'm only going to do it once in a while!

Like milk, it will look weird when frozen. I like rice pudding very cold so I leave it to defrost until just small crystals remain, give it a good stir through and then sprinkle on some chopped nuts. I find it delicious served that way!

I don't stand over mine stirring it when I do it on the hob, which is not very often to be honest. I just give it a stir now and again.


I much prefer to put it in the bottom of the oven, stir it now and again but then leave it for a good while till it forms a skin.....


Both ways, freezable.

I have the art of rice-pudding making cracked, I can't claim to be the expert on many things but when it comes to making a big dish of rice pudding everyone knows who to call

I feel confident enough to challenge you to a rice pudding-off. You up for it?

Thanks guys I thought it was..... I only stirred mine once or twice in the slow cooker. tried making it in the oven previously but it was a disaster. Prefer the slow cooker as I can just whizz it all in and leave it
