Creamy Dreamy Rice Pudding Non Dairy Food

CREAMY DREAMY RICE PUDDING (NON-DAIRY)

Steps:

• Boil the water and rice together on medium heat until the rice releases its starch and becomes creamy.
• Add 1 cup soy milk and the maple syrup. Simmer, stirring frequently until most of the soy milk is absorbed, and the rice is bubbly and thick (about 7 minutes).
• Add second and third cups of soy milk in the same manner as the first, continuing to stir frequently.
• When the pudding has reached the desired creaminess (about 5 minutes following last soy milk addition), remove from heat and add the vanilla and spices.
• Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• The pudding may be eaten warm or cold, and will firm up a little as it cools.
• Store covered in the refrigerator up to two days, if it lasts that long.
• Enjoy!

PERFECT DAIRY FREE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Blanch the almonds in a pan of rapidly boiling water, then strain and allow to dry and cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Spread the blanched almonds on the parchment.
• Bake almonds for approximately 10 minutes or until golden and aromatic.
• Set pan aside to cool.
• Add the salt to 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Add rice to the saucepan, cover and reduce the heat to low.
• Simmer rice, covered, for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is plumped.
• In a food processor fitted with the regular blade, pulse 5 oz (1 1/4 cups) of the toasted almonds into a coarse powder.
• Add 3 cups of warm water to the food processor and blend until the almonds and water are incorporated and"milky"; about 5 minutes.
• Note: this can be done in a blender instead of a food processor, though the almonds will not be quite as fine.
• Strain the almond milk in a fine mesh sieve, cheesecloth lined sieve or through a clean paper coffee filter into a bowl; when most of the liquid has gone through, squeeze or press the almond grits to extract as much of the remaining liquid as possible.
• Pour almond milk into the saucepan with the cooked rice.
• Add vanilla extract or scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the rice mixture.
• Add honey and stir the mixture.
• Increase heat to medium to return rice mixture to a simmer and stir every few minutes, uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
• Remove pan from heat and cool before transferring pudding to a bowl.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to develop and to allow the almond milk base to thicken to a nice consistency.
• Spoon into 6 dessert bowls and serve with a dollop of dairy free whipped topping and or fresh seasonal fruit.
