Ingredients
Dairy-free rice pudding requires only five ingredients- coconut milk, jasmine rice, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt. Be sure to use regular or reduced fat canned coconut milk- the kind sold in the cartons is diluted. Opt for reduced fat if you want to save on fat and calories. Go for full fat if you want a more decadent, rich pudding- my husband's favorite!
Sweetener of choice
You can play around with the sweetener, depending on your taste. The recipe calls for a half cup of granulated sugar, maple syrup, or honey. Use stevia for a sugar-free version. I sometimes use half sugar and half stevia, as I find that too much stevia can taste bitter.
Instructions
This is one of the easiest desserts you'll ever make. You add everything to a pot and bring it to a slight boil, then reduce and let simmer. SO EASY! I've seen other recipes requiring many steps, but I like to keep things simple when possible.
How to serve rice pudding
You can serve easy vegan rice pudding warm or cold. My favorite way to serve it is cold with fresh diced mango and mint. It's also really delicious warm, with cinnamon and nutmeg. You can't go wrong with this pudding!
