Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice and 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.

Step 4

Cook for 35-40 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the almond milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and add cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the rice mixture.

Step 7

Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or pie dish with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.

Step 8

Pour the chocolate rice mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch and flavor.

Step 10

Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Before serving, slice the rice cake into 8 pieces.

Step 12

Enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Rice Cake as a delightful treat!
