This delicious dairy alternative is warm and creamy.
Just what you need for a cozy dessert.
1 can full-fat coconut milk (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 cups coconut water*
1 cup white rice
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
optional:
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp orange zest
1. combine coconut milk, coconut water, rice, syrup, and vanilla in a pot and bring to a boil. Make sure you stir often to keep rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
2. Turn down the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.** Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Remove pot from heat and add a pinch of salt to taste and more maple syrup if needed to achieve desired flavor. Add other flavorings here if you'd like.
4. Let pudding cool a bit to thicken. Chill or serve warm. Enjoy!
*you can also use the same amount of unsweetened nut milk of your choice if you'd rather.
**pudding thickens considerably after being taken off the heat. Consider this when you are deciding when to finish simmering.
