Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., mango, banana, or berries)

Instructions
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the black rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in the coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 10 minutes until the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the pudding warm or chilled, topped with fresh fruit. If desired, sprinkle with shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your Paleo Black Rice Pudding as a delicious dessert or a nutritious breakfast option!
