I am happy to report that it is possible to recreate and upgrade the familiar tastes of our youth (or in this case the youth of my husband). May I present you with a tastier and healthier version of rice pudding…
Rice Pudding: An upgraded version
Ingredients:
1 c whole cooked risotto rice
2 t coconut oil
¼ c coconut milk
1 T maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Topping:
Nuts to taste
Dried fruit to taste
Rice Preparation:
Soak rice overnight in warm water with a bit of apple cider vinegar.
The next day rinse the rice well.
Cook the rice in cold water (as you would cook pasta) at a low heat for about 15 minutes until the rice is ready (it should be cooked “Al Dente” or be firm to the bite).
Rice Pudding Preparation:
Pour all of the ingredients over the rice and top with nuts and dried fruit.
