Horchata Rice Pudding (Vegan)

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"This is actually my version of the rice pudding you get in an East Indian Restaurant. I love that stuff but it's always made with dairy, so I came up with a Vegan recipe that I can enjoy anytime."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 quart horchata (I used Rice Dream brand)
• 1⁄4 cup coconut milk (I used So Delicious, the original kind)
• 1⁄3 cup white long grain rice (I used Lundburgs Organic)
• 2 tablespoons raw cane sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 1⁄4 cup slivered almonds
• 1⁄4 cup golden raisin
• 1⁄4 cup coffee creamer (I used coconut creamer)

directions

1. In a heavy saucepan, bring the Hochata to a boil.
2. Add the rice, cardamom powder, raisins and 1/2 the sliced almonds.
3. Bring to a boil and reduce to medium low and boil until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally.
4. Add the sugar and cook another 5 minutes.
5. Put the rice mixture into a serving bowl and add the creamer and give it a good mix. Add more raisins if you like.
6. Sprinkle the top with the other portion of slivered almonds. Put into the fridge to get cold.
