Tips & Variations

Which type of rice should you use? I find a long grain white rice woks best with this recipe. You will find that other varieties, like brown rice, won't produce the same creamy, flavorful texture. Jasmine or basmati rice are good choices.

Choose any dairy free milk. I made this rice pudding with almond milk, but you can also use soy, oat, or cashew milk, if you prefer.

Use a heavy pot. You will find that investing in a great heavy-bottom pot is important for so many recipes. It will heat evenly and help your rice to cook properly without burning. 

Add raisins. Raisins add great flavor to rice pudding! Just toss them in at the end of cooking. The liquid will soak into the raisins, plumping them up a bit. 

Add fun toppings. Top your vegan rice pudding with some fresh jam, diced berries, apples and cinnamon, or a drizzle of chocolate or homemade vegan nutella. Get creative!

Make chocolate rice pudding. Stir in a bit of cocoa powder or melted vegan chocolate chips for a chocolate-y pudding dessert.

Make coconut rice pudding. For an extra creamy rice pudding, you can prepare it with coconut milk. Bonus points for the coconutty flavor!

Vegan Rice Pudding FAQs

Do you need egg for a creamy rice pudding? 

No! You do not need to use any egg in this vegan pudding recipe. You will find that this recipe makes rice pudding just as creamy and rich as it would be if eggs were used. 

Can you make rice pudding ahead of time? 

I love rice pudding warm, fresh from the stove. But, if you want to, you can make a larger batch of pudding and store it for 1–2 days in the fridge. Then serve the rice pudding cold, or warm it back up on the stovetop. 

If you opt to warm it up on the stove, make sure to add more almond milk to help thin out the pudding as it heats up. It will thicken a lot as it cools down. 

Can you freeze rice pudding? 

You can freeze this rice pudding for up to 3 months in an airtight container. When ready to serve, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then serve it cold or warm it up in the microwave or on the stove.
