What kind of rice is best for Rice Pudding?
All depends on your preferences. For creamy and sticky pudding, choose round grain rice, as well known Arborio rice. This rice contains more starch – so it tends to stick together more than other long-grain rice varieties. If you prefer fluffy rice pudding, choose Basmati or Jasmine rice.
Can I make this Vegan Rice Pudding in Instant Pot or Slow Cooker?
Definitely, you can! Once you try to cook this recipe in Instant Pot, you will never want it any other way. A slow Cooker is an excellent option for a more sticky and mushy texture. You will always go right with this easy recipe using the proper liquid ratio to rice. It is fast, easy, and delicious.
Instruction for Instant Pot:
- Clean the rice.
- Mix rice with the remaining ingredients in a pot.
- Close the lid to the pressure cooker and set it on high pressure. Set the time – five minutes.
- Before you open the lid, do a 10-minute natural release.
Instruction for Slow Cooker:
- Mix all the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 2 to 2 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.
- If the pudding seems too thick, add more milk.
How to make Vegan Rice Pudding?
This easy vegan coconut rice pudding is the perfect blend of creamy coconut milk and pleasant and mild chew rice. Plenty of fresh vanilla seeds and cinnamon add flavor without overly sweetening this dessert. Toasted almond flakes and a combination of fresh berries make this dish so good – you will not be able to stop eating it!
Using a ratio of 1:1:1, combine rice, water, and coconut milk in a pot (better with a heavy bottom). Use this ratio only if you use pure coconut milk with high-fat content that usually looks like coconut cream. It also shouldn’t contain any sugar or other sweeteners. (For note: diluting milk with water is unnecessary if you use the one low fat. In this case, use the ratio 1 of rice to 2 of milk).
Bring to boil the pot and add the seeds of one vanilla bean and two sticks of cinnamon. Once bubbling, lower the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 -20 minutes. I did not add any sugar as the coconut milk has its own sweet taste. If you crave it sweeter, add some brown sugar or agave syrup. Make sure you stir rice occasionally to avoid sticking. Once the liquid has been absorbed, the rice should be cooked through.
Serve the rice pudding in bowls topped with toasted almond flakes, slices of strawberries, and some sweet blueberries.
ENJOY!
