Rice Chocolate Pudding – Vegan Recipes

It has ever happened to have a desire to make a dessert suddenly, going to open the cupboard and realizing that you do not have any flour for giving it up? This happens when you have a narrow view of what you can eat and little creative spirit. To tell the truth, a dessert can be prepared from the most unlikely ingredients and not only, as many believe, by combining some sugar, milk, eggs and flour.

For example, today I have prepared a more than usual delicious snack: a dense and soft rice chocolate pudding cooked in vegetable milk and flavored with lemon zest and vanilla extract. It is an easy and quick totally vegan recipe, which contains as a main ingredient a cereal that you could hardly have imagined to be put in a dessert.

Try it now and you will love it from its first taste!

The recipe

Ingredients for 2 people:

50 g rice (for pudding)
½ lemon
125 ml rice milk
235 ml coconut milk
60 agave syrup
1 table spoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tea spoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Method:

In a pot slightly heat up some rice milk.
Add the rice wheats and mix.
Add grated lemon peel and bring let it boil.
As soon as it boils, lower the heat and let it cook for about 20 minutes covered with lid.
At this point, remove the lemon zest with the help of a spoon.
Pour the coconut milk and let it bake until the rice has absorbed all liquid by stirring it regularly.
Add the agave syrup, a pinch of salt, and mix all well to make the mixture more homogeneous. (Note: the rice must be dense and creamy, so let it cook until you have obtained the desired consistency, regularly stirring it).
Separate rice into two parts: in one of these, add an unsweetened cocoa powder spoon and mix until it turns brown. (Attention: add more cocoa if you prefer).
Pour the pudding into two glasses making two layers: one layer of white rice and the other of cocoa rice.
Serve it with the stuffing you prefer

My advices:

I usually use for this recipe a special type of rice for pudding, but you can also use other types including “arborio” type rice.
Stuff it with fresh seasonal fruits and nuts.
It’s great either warm or cold.
