- If you prefer a less sweet pudding, swap the sweetened condensed milk for an equal amount of regular milk and add sugar to taste.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk and sweetened condensed coconut milk instead of dairy-based products to make a coconut milk rice pudding.
- Add ground chocolate chips instead of vanilla for a chocolate rice pudding.

While Senor Rico Rice Pudding is delicious on its own, you can customize it to suit your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas:
