Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Arborio rice
- 1 litre Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 750 ml of almond milk. Reserve the additional 250 ml for later use if needed.
Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife. Add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan for a rich vanilla flavor.
Add the ground cinnamon and salt to the saucepan, and stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for about 35 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. If the mixture becomes too thick and the rice is not fully cooked, gradually add the reserved almond milk until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Discard the vanilla bean pod and stir in the granulated erythritol until fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
Let the Riz au Lait sit for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. This allows the flavors to meld together and improve the texture.
Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls. Sprinkle each serving with a tablespoon of unsweetened shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm or refrigerate for a chilled version. Enjoy your sugar-free Riz au Lait as a healthy dessert or snack!
