I guess everybody likes rice pudding, especially children, but what about people who want something lighter than cow milk? This is a rice pudding version without cow’s milk, but just as creamy and subtly scented with almond milk. Stunning and highly digestible!

Ingredient list for the almond milk rice pudding
Serves 4:
- 1 liter of almond milk (homemade or ready-made)
- 3 1/2 oz (100 g) of round rice
- 3 1/2 oz (100 g) sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 stick of cinnamon (or 1 / 2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder)
- 5-6 saffron threads (or a scoop of powder)
- 5 green cardamom pods
- Crushed pistachios for topping decoration
- Liquid caramel topping (optional)
Directions
1. Cook the rice for 3 minutes in a large pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt. Drain.
2. Bring almond milk with the scraped vanilla bean to a simmer with saffron. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods, and be sure to tie them into a ball or a spice fillet so you can remove them easily after cooking.
3. Add the rice and sugar to the almond milk and spices. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes over very low heat. Remove the vanilla pod in the end. At the end of cooking, the preparation must be sufficiently liquid. As it cools, the rice continues to absorb the almond milk and becomes smooth. If you cook for longer, the result may be very dry and stodgy when cooled.
4. Serve warm or cold with a drizzle of caramel or honey.
5. Add a cinnamon stick for decoration, and sprinkle some crushed pistachios.
