Maple Rice Pudding Vegan Gluten Free Food

MAPLE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
• Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the milk, sugar and maple flavoring, bring to a boil, and let simmer over medium heat until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and butter. Cook stirring over low heat for another 5 minutes. Pour into a casserole dish, or serving bowls, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. This can be served cold also.

MAPLE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Process tofu and maple syrup in a food processor or blender until smooth.
• Add vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice and process until combined.
• Add cranberries and pulse to chop. Stir in rice.
• Transfer mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg and almonds.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• NOTE: I like to toast the almonds in the microwave by spreading them on a microwave-safe plate and nuking them on HIGH for 45 seconds, stirring them, and continuing to nuke them in 20 second increments until they are fragrant and brown.

MAPLE RICE PUDDING (VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Boil the water. Once boiling, add the rice and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Add the rice milk, maple syrup, salt and cinnamon and simmer uncovered (cover it until it starts to almost boil again, then take cover off) until thick and creamy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring once in a while.
• Remove from heat and add the vanilla and raisins. Stir and pour into serving dishes. Sprinkle with cinnamon to garnish, let cool down 5 minutes and serve. If you plan on serving it later on you may want to add a bit more rice milk as you reheat it as it will thicken with time.
