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.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the liquid is simmering, add in the cauliflower rice. Stir to combine and ensure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.
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.
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.
Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or refrigerate for a cold version, topped with optional chopped almonds for added crunch and flavor.
