Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice and 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Cook for 35-40 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the almond milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and add cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the rice mixture.
Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or pie dish with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Pour the chocolate rice mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch and flavor.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, slice the rice cake into 8 pieces.
Enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Rice Cake as a delightful treat!
