This comforting rice pudding starts with tender short-grain rice pressure-cooked right in the Instant Pot until every grain turns soft and plump. A touch of sugar and a pinch of salt round out the base, while warm ground cinnamon gives it that cozy, spiced aroma as it simmers down to a thick, spoonable consistency. The finishing sauté step is what really makes this one special, coaxing the pudding into that glossy, coat-the-spoon texture you want from a good rice pudding. Serve it warm right after cooking, or chill individual bowls for a make-ahead dessert you can dust with extra cinnamon or nutmeg whenever the craving hits. It's an easy, hands-off treat that works beautifully for a low histamine table, no fuss required.
