Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup arborio rice
  2. 4 cups almond milk
  3. 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the arborio rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, ensuring a creamy texture in the final dish.
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed arborio rice and almond milk. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently, allowing the rice to slowly absorb the almond milk. This process will take approximately 25-30 minutes.
  4. When the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency, add the coconut sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
  5. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  6. Let the rice pudding rest for 5 minutes to allow it to continue thickening and cooling slightly.
  7. Serve warm in individual bowls, or chill in the refrigerator for a cool dessert. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or fresh berries before serving.

Tips

  1. Always rinse your arborio rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, which helps achieve that dreamy, creamy texture.
  2. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning and ensure even heat distribution.
  3. Stir frequently during cooking to prevent the rice from sticking and to help it absorb the almond milk evenly.
  4. Cook on low heat to allow the rice to slowly soften and create a luxurious consistency.
  5. Let the pudding rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to thicken naturally.
  6. For extra indulgence, experiment with toppings like toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  7. This pudding can be enjoyed warm or chilled, making it a versatile dessert for any season.
