Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain white rice
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 2 cups Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1/3 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the short-grain white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, almond milk, and salt. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice is cooking evenly.
Cook the rice for about 25-30 minutes or until it becomes tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly to thicken further. The pudding will continue to set as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with chopped nuts and fresh fruit if desired.
