Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice if not using pre-packaged. Grate a medium-sized cauliflower head to make roughly 2 cups of rice.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup of water, and cauliflower rice. Stir gently to mix.
Add the raw honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan partially and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cauliflower rice is soft and the mixture begins to thicken.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot pudding mixture to the egg yolk, whisking continuously to temper the yolk.
Add the tempered yolk to the saucepan, stirring rapidly to incorporate. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken further.
Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the Paleo Riz au Lait rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with optional garnishes such as chopped nuts or fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
