Leftover rice, meet dessert stardom. Maya, a plant-based culinary wizard known for her wild and playful experiments, just dropped a video that’s making food lovers rethink leftovers forever. With her twist, the humble grain transforms into a creamy and dreamy ice cream that feels nothing short of magical.
Viral Video: Creator Makes Ice Cream From Leftover Rice
She starts off with a question that immediately grabs you: “Did you know you can turn your leftover rice into ice cream?” Spoiler alert: yes, you absolutely can, and it’s ridiculously good!
The video is short, fun, and surprisingly magical. Maya whirls together leftover sticky rice, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt until it’s silky smooth. Then comes the vegan whipped cream, gently folded in like a soft cloud.
Freeze overnight, and voila, a creamy, rice-pudding-like ice cream ready to take the stage at your next dessert craving. She even hints at sprinkling cinnamon on top for a little extra personality.
What you’ll need to make this at home:
- 300g cooked rice (sticky rice works best)
- 300ml milk (she used vanilla soy milk, but get creative)
- 70g sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 300ml vegan whipping cream
Content creator Maya admits she got inspired by a mango sticky rice ice cream from Food & Travel creator Elanne Boake Jeong, but the end result is unmistakably hers. The texture is creamy yet comforting, and the taste is both familiar and surprisingly playful.

The Internet Loves This Recipe!
The internet exploded. One fan said they were already planning to freeze leftover rice pudding, and now they have a whole new plan. Another suggested mango chunks, while someone from Iran excitedly pointed out the resemblance to Shir-Berenj, their beloved rice-and-milk dessert.
And of course, playful humour made an appearance: one Brazilian commenter joked about too much garlic ruining their rice, but hey, life’s about risks, right? One user simply couldn’t resist the glorious pun and said, “Don’t you mean rice-cream?”
But the sweetest part is that people are genuinely loving the creator’s energy, creativity, and unapologetic joy in the kitchen. It’s not just about turning rice into ice cream, it’s about taking something ordinary and making it delightfully extraordinary. A little bit of leftover, a lot of imagination, and suddenly your freezer is hosting a mini dessert revolution.
