cooked rice pudding with almond milk

I love using almond milk in this pudding recipe. Actually, this almond milk rice pudding is one of my favourite versions because of the subtle nuttiness of the milk.

Almond milk is a plant-based milk, which is heavily favoured in vegetarian and vegan diets. Additionally, the latter is an excellent nutritious substitute to regular milk as it usually contains lots of vitamins. For example, you can easily find high amounts of calcium, Vitamin D as well as Vitamin E.

Moreover, some almond milk brands are also low as regards calories.

For that reason, I find myself drinking as well as cooking with almond milk a lot more. Especially since I'm really on a journey towards becoming a vegan.

Best rice for rice pudding

As mentioned above, you won't be able to complete this almond milk rice pudding recipe with ordinary rice. You'll need to source a special type of rice used for desserts. So, go for the rice labelled 'pudding rice', you'll find it works best.

If you aren't able to find this type of rice, a good substitute is Arborio rice, the one with which basic risotto is made. The rice contains a lot of starch. Furthermore, when you cook it slowly, it has a lovely creamy texture.

Lastly, if you happen to have a Scandinavian shop nearby, you can also ask for the rice which is used for making risalamande. Risalamande is a Danish almond rice pudding recipe which is actually really similar to this almond milk rice pudding. The only difference is that it doesn't contain much cinnamon, and it is often served with a sour cherry coulis.
