Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup black rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh berries for topping
Instructions
- Rinse the black rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, removing any excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for approximately 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the water.
- Once the rice is cooked, add almond milk to the pan and stir gently to combine. Continue cooking on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the almond milk and become creamy.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the sweetness and flavor evenly throughout the pudding.
- Let the pudding rest for 3-5 minutes to allow it to thicken and cool slightly.
- Divide the warm pudding between two serving bowls, ensuring an even distribution.
- Top each serving with a generous handful of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
- Serve immediately while still warm, optionally adding an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Always rinse black rice thoroughly to remove excess starch and ensure a perfect texture.
- Use low heat when simmering to prevent burning and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Choose fresh, ripe berries for topping to maximize flavor and visual appeal.
- If you prefer a thinner pudding, adjust almond milk quantity slightly.
- For extra richness, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of coconut milk.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently with a splash of additional almond milk.
- Experiment with different berry combinations to keep the recipe exciting and fresh.
