Indulge in a guilt-free dessert with our creamy and comforting Diabetic Rice Pudding for Two! This easy recipe swaps traditional ingredients for healthier alternatives, like nutrient-packed brown rice and unsweetened almond milk, making it a perfect treat for those managing diabetes or watching their sugar intake. Sweetened naturally with erythritol or stevia, and seasoned with warm hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, this pudding offers a cozy, nostalgic flavor without the sugar spike. Optional unsweetened raisins add a delightful chew, making each bite irresistibly satisfying. Ready in just 20 minutes, this two-serving dessert is ideal for sharing as a warm after-dinner treat or a chilled midday snack.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked brown rice and unsweetened almond milk.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the granulated erythritol or stevia, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Continue to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
If desired, stir in the unsweetened raisins during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool for 5 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Divide the pudding evenly between two serving bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of additional ground cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for a cold dessert.
