Imagine a creamy, dreamy bowl of rice pudding, the coconut's tropical aroma mingling with the sweet, tangy scent of mixed berries jam, all topped with a hint of mint and coconut flakes. Here is how you can make a delicious vegan rice pudding in half an hour -or less!
Rinse the arborio (or Jasmine, or basmati) rice under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy. Remove from heat.
Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
For the homemade mixed berries jam
In the meantime, combine the berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat.
Once the berries release their juices, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Mash the berries with a fork or potato masher for a chunkier texture. For a smoother jam, blend the mixture.
Stir in chia seeds and let the jam cool. It will thicken as it cools.
To serve, pour the rice pudding into four small bowls and top with a generous dollop of homemade berry jam. A sprig of mint or a sprinkling of coconut flakes can add an extra touch!
