Homemade rice pudding made with semi-skimmed milk is a slow-baked or stovetop dessert of short-grain rice, semi-skimmed milk, and sugar. Using semi-skimmed milk reduces the fat content compared to whole milk versions while retaining a good calcium, protein, vitamin B12, and riboflavin content. It provides moderate carbohydrate from the rice and added sugar, and is a comforting, relatively nutritious dessert.
Bake at 150°C for 1.5–2 hours for the creamiest, slowest-set result — a skin forms on top which is traditional and can be stirred in or removed. Add a vanilla pod or a strip of lemon zest to the milk while baking for fragrant flavour without extra sugar.

Glycemic Index & Load
Low GI food — causes a slow, steady rise in blood sugar. Ideal for sustained energy, blood glucose control, and reducing insulin demand.
Glycemic Load (GL = GI × carbs ÷ 100) accounts for portion size. A low GL means this food has minimal real-world blood sugar impact.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
