Prepare Rice in the Cooker:
- In your rice cooker, prepare rice as directed for 2 servings. It’s essential to note that rice cooker cups differ from standard measuring cups. The cup provided with your rice cooker may hold less than a regular measuring cup. Adjust the rice quantity according to your rice cooker’s cup size. For example, if your rice cooker cup holds 2/3 of a regular measuring cup, use 2/3 cup of rice for this recipe.

Add Spices and Raisins:
- Once the rice is in the cooker, sprinkle in the nutmeg, cinnamon, and raisins. These aromatic spices and plump raisins will infuse the rice with a burst of flavor as it cooks.
-
Cook Until Done:
- Allow the rice, spices, and raisins to cook in the rice cooker until tender and fully cooked. The tantalizing aroma will fill your kitchen, creating an atmosphere of anticipation.

Prepare Cheesecake Pudding:
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the cheesecake pudding mix according to the instructions on the box. Combine the pudding mix with milk, whisking until smooth and creamy. This luscious pudding will serve as the decadent topping for your rice pudding.
-
Sweeten the Rice:
- Once the rice is cooked to perfection, add the sugar to sweeten it slightly. Then, gently fold in the prepared cheesecake pudding, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed throughout the rice mixture. The creamy pudding will meld beautifully with the tender rice, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Your Rice Cheesecake Pudding is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it warm for a comforting treat, or refrigerate it until cold for a refreshing dessert option. Whether enjoyed as a midday snack, a delightful dessert, or a sweet ending to a festive meal, this versatile dish is bound to delight your taste buds with every spoonful.

Storage Tip:
- Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for future enjoyment. Simply cover the pudding with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container to maintain its freshness. When ready to indulge again, simply reheat it gently or enjoy it straight from the fridge.
