My go-to kheer recipe with condensed milk! It’s deliciously rich, creamy and perfectly sweet with irresistible flavors. It’s a perfect dessert for any celebration.
❤️Why I Love This Recipe
This is the instant version (it takes only 20 minutes) vs traditional kheer takes much longer to prepare (20 mins rice soaking time + around 40-50 mins of cook time).
This quick recipe comes handy during the festive season. I know you are busy with a bunch of other stuff like decorating, shopping, making other Diwali snacks or Diwali sweets.
It is a dump and cook recipe. Very simple and easy to make. You cannot mess this up.
Even though this is an instant version, you’ll get the same taste and texture.
🧾Ingredients
Here is the pic of the ingredients used in making rice kheer with condensed milk (milkmaid). You’ll need only 8 ingredients and 20 minutes.
Cooked rice: Because this is the quick version of kheer, we are using cooked rice. Make sure to use the unsalted cooked rice.
Condensed milk: It adds enough sweetness and richness. It also makes the kheer perfectly creamy. Plus, milkmaid is already thick, so we don’t have to simmer for longer to get the right kheer consistency.
Flavoring: I am using cardamom, nutmeg, saffron and rose water. All gives the best flavor, rose water gives a nice aroma.
Nuts: Use a single one or use a mixture of almonds, cashews, raisins.
👩🍳Step By Step Photo Instructions
1) Take cooked rice in a saucepan.
2) Add milk and condensed milk.
3) Add chopped nuts and saffron.
4) Turn the heat on medium, mix well and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes or until it is thickened and becomes kheer consistency. Do stir occasionally to make sure that it is not sticking to the bottom and sides of the pan.
5) Now add cardamom powder, nutmeg and rose water.
6) Mix well and it is ready to serve.
🍽 Serving Ideas
- This can be served warm or chilled. To serve it cold, let it come to room temperature, then chill into the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 hours before serving.
- It can be enjoyed a bowlful of it as such as a dessert.
- Or it can be served along with a meal and served with puri. If serving with poori, I recommend serving warm kheer.

Made this to start off New Year celebrations..something sweet always. This was so simple to make and was super creamy and tasty, everyone loved it! Thanks so much for the recipe! Xx
Very glad to know that kheer came out good.
Thank you Anjana for the feedback.
Why do we need to use normal milk as well as condensed milk? Can I use only condensed milk?
You need both regular milk and condensed milk.
You cannot use just condensed milk because it is thick. You'll need regular milk to get the right consistency.
Din’t have rose water but turned out great. And such an easy recipe.
Rose water is not essential here.
Very glad that you find it easy and good
Does it matter if I use boiled and drained rice or the starches need to be intact in the rice?
yes it is fine.
It's so yummyyyyy
Thank you
