Ingredients
- 1 litre (4 cups) almond milk unsweetened (see NOTES, organic, 6%
- 1 vanilla bean or ½ teaspoon vanilla powder/extract
- 140 g (5oz/¾ cup) short grain rice arborio/risotto rice, for pudding
- 50 g (1.75oz/¼ cup) sugar (raw cane sugar or coconut flower sugar)
- 2 g (½ tsp) salt fleur de sel, Maldon flakes or Celtic sea salt
- 30 g (1oz/2 tbsp) golden raisins (cranberries or other dried fruits)
- 1 teaspoon rose water or lemon/orange zest
- almonds optional, for decor, slivered
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring the almond milk to the boil with the vanilla pod, if using (or vanilla powder/extract). Remove the vanilla pod, scraping out the seeds with a sharp knife and return the seeds to the pan.
- Rain in the rice, sugar, salt, rose water (or lemon/orange zest) and dried fruits. Using a wooden spoon, initially stir every 3-4 minutes so that the rice doesn't stick together. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring every 5 minutes.
- The rice pudding will start to thicken naturally after 25 minutes. Continue to simmer and stir gently for another 5 minutes. Adjust with a little more sugar or salt to your taste if necessary. Transfer to individual pots or dishes. Either serve warm or cool and chill and serve next morning.
Notes
- How to serve: Serve chilled or slightly warmed with toasted almonds (toasted for a few minutes under a broiler/grill or dry-fried in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes). Add chopped dried apricots, dates, figs, banana, pomegranate arils, walnuts or fresh berries.
- Storage: Leftover almond milk rice pudding can keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Although it can freeze, I recommend it's best served freshly made to conserve their flavour.
- Almond Milk Sugar Content:
- Almond milk substitutes: Rice, Coconut or Soya Milk also works well.
- For a more classic (non vegan) version, see French rice pudding (riz au lait) with egg yolks.
- Measures: Please note that all my recipes are best made using digital kitchen scales in precise metric grams. Both ounces (and cups) are given as an approximate guide.
- If your almond milk contains sugar, reduce the sugar by at least a half.
- For an instant caramelised flavour, use coconut flower sugar - it's so intense in flavour, you can also reduce the amount to 2 tbsps of sugar. Adjust to your own taste.
