Ingredients

• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 cup water
• 3 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice if not using pre-packaged. Grate a medium-sized cauliflower head to make roughly 2 cups of rice.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup of water, and cauliflower rice. Stir gently to mix.

Step 3

Add the raw honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan partially and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cauliflower rice is soft and the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot pudding mixture to the egg yolk, whisking continuously to temper the yolk.

Step 6

Add the tempered yolk to the saucepan, stirring rapidly to incorporate. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken further.

Step 7

Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the Paleo Riz au Lait rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm or chilled, topped with optional garnishes such as chopped nuts or fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
