Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granular sugar substitute (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- to taste Optional toppings: sliced almonds, fresh berries, or shredded coconut
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower rice, unsweetened almond milk, granular sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower rice is soft and has absorbed some of the almond milk.
While the mixture is cooking, beat the egg in a small bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the warm almond milk mixture from the saucepan to the beaten egg, whisking constantly to temper the egg and prevent curdling.
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to combine, and reduce the heat to low.
Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy pudding consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the pudding evenly into 4 serving bowls. Let it cool slightly or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
Top with optional toppings like sliced almonds, fresh berries, or shredded coconut, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
