A creamy, cozy, dairy-free and egg-free rice pudding made with almond milk and jasmine rice. A vegan-friendly, lighter dessert or breakfast option that is easy to prepare in one pot with minimal ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white rice (Jasmine, arborio, sushi, calrose)
  • 7 cups almond milk (or another plant-based milk)
  • ¼–1/3 cup sugar (table sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, sugar substitutes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
  2. Combine 6 1/2 cups almond milk and the sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the rinsed rice and cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring often, for 20–30 minutes until the pudding thickens and becomes creamy; add a splash of almond milk or water if it gets too thick.
  4. Stir frequently during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking to prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup almond milk and 1 tablespoon vegan butter until well blended.
  6. If using leftover cooked rice, swap the uncooked rice for about 3 cups cooked rice, reduce almond milk to 3–3 1/2 cups, and cook 10–15 minutes until warmed through and creamy.

Notes
