Coconut Black Rice Pudding {5 ingredients, vegan}
Healthy coconut black rice pudding, perfect for breakfast or a spa-style dessert. Made with only 5 ingredients, it is vegan & gluten-free,
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 90 g uncooked black rice
- 3/4 cup 175 mL full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 cup 237 mL water
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- optional: pinch of fine sea salt
- grated zest and juice of 1 medium lime
- Optional toppings: additional coconut milk for drizzling diced fresh fruit, additional coconut sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, ginger, optional salt and the lime zest.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes until a majority of the liquid is absorbed, the rice is plumped and tender, and the mixture is thickened into a pudding consistency. (Add more water, as needed, if the liquid is absorbed but the rice is not yet plumped and tender).
- Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice to taste.
- Serve hot, warm, or cold, with any or all of the optional toppings.
Notes
Storage: Store the cooled, leftover porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Rewarm in a small saucepan set over low heat for several minutes (or the microwave for about 1-2 minutes), stirring until warmed through. Add an extra tablespoon or two of water or nondairy milk as needed.
Tip: The recipe can be multiplied to make 4 or 6 servings (for more people, or for more leftovers).
Rice: An equal amount of long grain brown rice or regular white (medium or long grain) rice can be used in place of the black rice.
Milk Tip: Other nondairy milks can be used in place of the coconut milk. Since coconut milk adds so much richness, I suggest changing the quantities to 1 and 1/4 cups nondairy milk and 1/2 cup water if you make this change.
Sugar Tip: Any other sweetener (granulated or liquid) can be used in place of the coconut sugar.
