Homemade rice pudding made with whole milk is the richest and creamiest traditional version, combining short-grain pudding rice with full-fat milk and sugar. It provides excellent calcium, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and protein from the whole milk alongside saturated fat from the milk fat. Energy content is around 130–150 kcal/100g. It is a satisfying dessert that also contributes useful dairy nutrition.
A grating of fresh nutmeg on top before baking is the classic finishing touch and adds a warm, aromatic flavour. Whole milk rice pudding benefits from at least 90 minutes in a low oven (140–150°C) for the best thick, creamy result.

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.
