3Rizogalo – The Comforting Rice Pudding

Simple yet deeply satisfying, rizogalo (Greek rice pudding) is one of those desserts every Greek grandmother knows how to make. Made with rice, milk, sugar, and a hint of vanilla or lemon zest, it’s often topped with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon.

Served warm or cold, rizogalo offers a creamy, comforting texture and a nostalgic taste of home. You’ll find it in local cafés, tavernas, and bakeries, usually served in small glass bowls. Some modern versions incorporate caramel or orange zest, but the classic cinnamon-topped version remains the true favorite.
