Ingredients

Units Scale

Rice Pudding:

  • 3/4 cup Arborio or short-grain white rice
  • 4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Toppings:

  • raisins
  • chopped nuts
  • fresh fruit
  • coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Simmer: Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If needed, add a splash of almond milk to reach desired texture. Remove from heat and rest before serving warm or chill for a cold treat.
  4. Add Toppings: Top with raisins, nuts, fruit, or coconut flakes as desired.

Notes

  • Arborio rice provides a creamy texture, but jasmine or basmati rice can be substituted.
  • Enhance the flavor by stirring in raisins or dried cranberries during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
