Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup coconut milk (light)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice and water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is mostly absorbed.
Add the almond milk, light coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the cooked rice. Stir well to combine.
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Divide the black rice pudding into serving bowls and top each with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped almonds for added crunch.
Serve warm or allow it to cool completely, then refrigerate and serve chilled.
