Product Review: Señor Rico Zero Sugar Added Rice Pudding

​Finding a store-bought, low-carb dessert that actually delivers on nostalgic comfort can feel like a massive challenge. Traditional arroz con leche is packed with sugar and starch, but Señor Rico Zero Sugar Added Rice Pudding changes the game. This has easily become one of my favorite ready-to-eat treats.

What is it Sweetened With?

​Instead of traditional sugar, this version is sweetened using a blend of sucralose and acesulfame potassium. This combination provides a clean, impactful sweetness that mimics real sugar perfectly, entirely avoiding any bitter or chemical aftertaste.

​Because it is made with real whole milk and cream, you get the authentic, velvety texture of a true kettle-cooked rice pudding without the heavy sugar crash.

Sugar Free Dad Verdict

​It is incredibly rare to find a sugar-free pudding that keeps the exact mouthfeel of the original 30-year-old recipe. If you need a quick, portion-controlled treat to satisfy a sweet tooth, pick up a four-pack on your next grocery run.

​Dad Tip: Because it still uses real rice, it contains 11 grams of total carbohydrates per serving. It fits wonderfully into a sugar-free lifestyle, but remember to keep your daily macro counts in mind if you are strictly keto.
