Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Arborio rice
- 800 milliliters Almond milk
- 100 milliliters Coconut cream
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios)
- 100 grams Fresh berries
Instructions
Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, coconut cream, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the rice and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and creamy. Add more almond milk if necessary to achieve the desired creaminess.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until everything is warmed through.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Serve the riz au lait warm or chilled, topped with chopped nuts and fresh berries for garnish.
