    Tips & Tricks

    Variety Of Rice 

    I find a long grain white rice does best with this recipe. You will find that other varieties, like brown rice, etc., won't produce the same creamy, flavorful texture. 

    Heavy-Bottom Pot 

    You will find that investing in a great heavy-bottom pot is important. A nice heavy-bottom pot is going to help your rice to cook evenly without burning. 

    Whisk 

    I love using a whisk to incorporate all the ingredients and mix while the pudding is boiling. Using a whisk allows me to safely break up any lumps of rice that might be developing. 

    Variations

    Raisins 

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

    Toppings 

    Top your vegan rice pudding with some fresh jam, diced fruit, a drizzle of chocolate, etc. Toppings really elevate the flavor of this delicious pudding. 

    Vegan Rice Pudding FAQs

    Do you need egg for a creamy rice pudding? 

    No! You do not need to use an egg in this 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 pan on the stove. But, if you want to, you can make some and store it for 1–2 days in the fridge. Then serve pudding cold or warm it back up on the stove. 

    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 almond milk rice pudding? 

    You can freeze this rice pudding by storing it in a freezer for up to 3 months. Then when you want to eat some, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. 

    Eat it cold or warm it up in the microwave or on the stove. Do a low and slow heat on the stove to prevent it from burning.
