Rice pudding

A classic dessert from Spain, this creamy plant-based rice pudding is gently simmered with lemon zest, cinnamon sticks, and sweetened to taste. Served warm or chilled with a sprinkle of cinnamon, it’s a comforting treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • .75 cups uncooked rice
  • 4.25 cups plant-based milk
  • zest from lemon
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • sugar to taste
  • sprinkled cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Preparation

 

  1. Break the cinnamon sticks into two or three pieces each. In a saucepan, boil the plant milk over low heat for about five minutes and add the cinnamon sticks. Add the zested lemon peel, being careful to remove the white part. 
  2. Add a small pinch of salt. Be careful because the milk boils and can overflow.
  3. Add the rice and let it cook over low heat until the grain is soft. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  4. Once the rice begins to soften, add sugar to taste, and mix well. Add more hot plant milk as needed. 
  5. Serve the rice pudding with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder.
