Ingredients
- 1 cup black rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed.
Step 4
Add the almond milk, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the cooked rice.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for another 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Serve the pudding warm or chilled, topped with fresh berries and, if desired, a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture.
Step 8
Enjoy this heart-healthy dessert as a nourishing breakfast or a sweet end to any meal.
