Rice Pudding is typically made with uncooked rice, but once again I have leftover rice to use up. I don’t think it saved much time in this recipe by using precooked rice. The milk still has to cook down to pudding consistency. I used 2% and it took about 35 minutes to thicken. If you use whole milk or sub in cream, evaporated milk, or half and half it may take less time.
I have made this using equal amounts of rice and milk but thought it ended up being more like a rice cereal than a rice pudding.
I think the sweetened condensed milk adds just the right amount of sweetness. If you like a sweeter pudding you can add a little brown or white sugar to the mixture.
