Like my original oven baked rice pudding recipe, this one is not made on the stove involving an hour of stirring!
No, just stir the ingredients together in an oven-safe bowl and just one more stir during baking, that’s it! There’s nothing else to do, so you can spend your time doing something you need (or even better, want) to do. Let the oven do the work for you and then enjoy the delightful dessert!
What can I make with Costco eggnog liqueur?
And if you bought a huge bottle of Costco eggnog liqueur, like me, and want to make something delicious with it, here’s your answer!
This twist on this recipe is that it uses eggnog liqueur and not just eggnog. If you don’t have eggnog liqueur and want to use eggnog, go right ahead. This is such an easy recipe, as long as you keep the measurements the same, you’ll get the same creamy results no matter if you switch the choice of liquids.

What a most deliciously brilliant idea, Christina! Love, love, love this. We don’t do the eggnog thing but now I’m craving it – and in creamy rice pudding. I also love that you don’t use much sugar, as the liqueur will make it a perfect dose.
I do like it, and never make it too sweet! Thanks, Jill!
Tasty sounding recipe. I love rice pudding but have it very rarely because making it for one person takes a serious commitment to eat a lot of rice pudding. I still do on occasion.
You could easily make a half or third of this recipe. :)
Mark makes homemade eggnog so I think we will use it to make this. I never got around to making your regular rice pudding but with the holidays upon us, eggnog will come first! Thanks!
Great idea, David! Let me know how you like it!
Sounds yummy. Recipe says put in oven for 30 minutes then stir return to oven set timer for an hour. Then set the timer for an hour. My question is , do you put this in for 2 and 1/2 hours? Recipe says 2 hours. I’m confused. By the way, I received , from you, a beautiful tea cup last year. I sent a thank you a couple times but don’t know if you ever received those. So thanks again.
Oh goodness, I was really fighting with this recipe yesterday and it shows (technical issues)! I fixed it Janice, it’s only 1.5 hours of baking in all. Yes, I believe I did get your thank you(s) and hopefully responded, but maybe there were more technical issues! Ugh. I’m so glad you are happy with your cup! Enjoy the rice pudding! Making it is easier than reading the recipe…haha!
This sounds delicious and so easy! You don’t say when to add the eggnog but going by the pictures it goes in with the milk. Thanks for another great recipe. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, Carol! I fixed the recipe, sorry about that, it does go in with the milk and cream :) Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
I’ve got some cherry ripe liquor and I think I might use that to make a nice rice pudding. I don’t know if you know what a cherry ripe is but it’s a cherry, coconut ,chocolate coated confectionery.
Sounds similar to a Mon Cheri chocolate cherry liqueur candy that I love from Italy! Give it a try, Reg and let me know what you think! :)
