Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower rice
- 500 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 20 grams Butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the almond milk, granulated erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the milk mixture is simmering, add the cauliflower rice to the saucepan.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes or until the cauliflower rice has softened and absorbed much of the liquid.
Stir in the butter and the heavy cream until fully incorporated, allowing the mixture to thicken and become creamy. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Taste the milchreis and adjust sweetness with more erythritol if desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute before serving.
Serve warm or cold, topped with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon for garnish, if desired.
