Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1 can Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Almond butter
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped almonds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your cauliflower rice if not using pre-riced cauliflower. Cut a head of cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the liquid is simmering, add in the cauliflower rice. Stir to combine and ensure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.

Step 5

Cook for about 18-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice becomes tender and absorbs most of the liquid. The mixture should be creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the almond butter and mix until fully incorporated. If you are adding raisins for a bit of sweetness and additional texture, do so now.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm or refrigerate for a cold version, topped with optional chopped almonds for added crunch and flavor.
