Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Short-grain white rice
• 1 can (400 mL) Full-fat coconut milk
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk of choice)
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to prevent boiling over.

Step 5

Cook the rice pudding for about 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. If the pudding becomes too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it.

Step 6

If using raisins, stir them into the pudding during the last 5 minutes of cooking so they soften and plump up.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls, sprinkle with ground nutmeg if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
