Stovetop rice pudding is easier than a can.
One cup arborio rice
3 cups milk (or one cup cream/half-half and 2 milk)
Teaspoon of vanilla if you like
Put in non-stick pan
Bring to boil
Turn down to lowest setting for 25mins
When it's done (depends how sticky you like it) Stir in a spoon of sugar and a spoon of butter if you're feeling decadent - or jam or maple syrup or whatever
