FAQs

1. Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?

While you can technically use brown rice, it won’t create the same creamy texture as white rice. Stick with white rice for the best results.

2. What if I don’t have evaporated milk or condensed milk?

You can substitute both with regular milk, but the pudding won’t be as creamy or sweet. You can also try using coconut milk for a tropical twist.

3. How long does the pudding last in the fridge?

The pudding will last for up to 5 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container.
