Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granular sugar substitute (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0 to taste Optional toppings: sliced almonds, fresh berries, or shredded coconut
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower rice, unsweetened almond milk, granular sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower rice is soft and has absorbed some of the almond milk.
Step 3
While the mixture is cooking, beat the egg in a small bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the warm almond milk mixture from the saucepan to the beaten egg, whisking constantly to temper the egg and prevent curdling.
Step 4
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to combine, and reduce the heat to low.
Step 5
Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy pudding consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Divide the pudding evenly into 4 serving bowls. Let it cool slightly or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
Step 8
Top with optional toppings like sliced almonds, fresh berries, or shredded coconut, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
