Cinnamon Rice Pudding (Vegan)

This easy and healthy vegan rice pudding is thick, perfectly spiced, and incredibly tasty! Luscious and creamy, the sweetness comes from the maple syrup and the non-dairy milk makes it creamy. The perfect dessert, everyone will love this homemade rice pudding, regardless if they are vegan or not!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked Jasmine rice, or other medium or long grain white rice
  • 5 cups non-dairy milk (I used half coconut milk and half rice milk)
  • cup real maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ground
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp salt I use Himalayan salt

Instructions

  • Put the rice, non-dairy milk, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt into a large saucepan. 
  • Heat on medium-high until boiling, then reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer uncovered on low for approximately 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the mixture has reached the desired thickness, remove from heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and transfer the mixture into serving glasses or bowls to cool.
  • Once the mixture has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • Serve with chopped walnuts, raisins, or other topping of choice.

Notes

  • This can be enjoyed either cold or hot! It's all about preference! 
  • You can use different medium-grain white rice varieties, but I recommend Jasmine rice for its naturally sweet flavour.
  • Your cooking time will vary depending on how thick your non-dairy milk is. I used ⅔ rice milk and ⅓ coconut milk for a non-dairy milk of medium consistency.
  • Use real maple syrup for the best results. Artificial syrup is not the same and will affect your final results.
  • While this has been traditionally served as a dessert, I enjoy it for breakfast!
