Ingredients

• 1 cup Black rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 8 pieces Medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0 Fresh fruit or nuts for topping (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the pudding from becoming too thick.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the Medjool dates. These will naturally sweeten the pudding without adding refined sugar.

Step 5

After the rice has cooked, add the coconut milk, chopped dates, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan.

Step 6

Stir well to combine all the ingredients and continue to cook over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Cook for another 20 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency. The dates should break down and distribute sweetness throughout the pudding.

Step 8

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with fresh fruit or nuts if desired. Enjoy your sugar-free black rice pudding!
