I love fix it and forget it recipes. This Sous Vide Vanilla Cardamom Rice Pudding with Cherries recipe is one of those. If you have a Sous Vide, rice pudding is one of those easy desserts you can cook in your machine. Easy dessert!
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups skim milk
- 2 cups Arborio rice
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. cardamom
- 3 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup cherries
Directions
Fill your Sous Vide Supreme Demi Water Oven and preheat the water to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place all of the ingredients into a Sous Vide vacuum-sealable bag and stir. Seal the bag according to the manufacturer’s directions, but don’t use the vacuum, just seal. You can also use one of the zip style pouches instead.
Place the sealed bag in the Sous Vide Supreme Demi water oven and cook for 2 hours.
Carefully remove the bag from the water oven. Cut open the bag and stir ingredients to fluff rice. Serve.
*Sprinkle a little vanilla sugar on each bowl if you like your rice pudding more sweet, or add a bit more sugar to the recipe as you prep. This particular Sous Vide Vanilla Cardamom Rice Pudding with Cherries is about the flavors and spices, not sweetness. If you like your rice pudding on the very wet side, I would add about another 1/2 cup of milk or water to this recipe.

What a cool idea! Good combination of tastes!
This looks so delicious and we love Rice pudding and these flavorings look delicious!! I will have to try this recipe!
Wow, what a colossal disappointment!
I thought the recipe sounded a little bland, so I added a pinch of cinnamon and a tablespoon of sugar. That may keep me from just tossing the whole thing in the trash, but I’m not really sure yet.
After shopping for ingredients, then 20 minutes or so of prep, and an hour of cooking, I now have some semi sweet rice with a mildly interesting flavor.
To call this dessert is a pretty big stretch. To call it pudding is just silly. I guess I should have read the ingredients a little more carefully and maybe would have realized that this is a dessert for people who are maybe restricted to a BRAT diet.
Just thankful that I didn’t ruin my valentine’s day dinner plans by waiting to try this until ‘V-Day’ :).

I’m so sorry you were disappointed. Classic rice pudding, minus the eggs which we didn’t use, is pretty unsweet. I thought I made it fairly clear in the notes that this recipe was about the spices and not the sweetness. I’ll look at moving those notes higher up or re-writing the intro so people know before they get to the recipe.
