Vegan Rice Pudding - Vegan recipe hero image

Rice pudding holds a special place in my heart; it reminds me of chilly evenings spent with my family, gathering around the table.

I remember my grandmother making it on snowy days, and now I’m thrilled to share my vegan twist on this classic dish!

It’s so simple to make and incredibly comforting, perfect for those moments when you need a little extra warmth in your life.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using Arborio rice for its creamy consistency, but you can use any short-grain rice. The coconut almond milk gives it that rich flavor, and almond almond milk keeps it light. If you're not a fan of raisins, feel free to use dried cranberries or even some chopped nuts for a bit of crunch!

Tips & Notes

  • I love to top mine with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries for a pop of color and flavor.
  • If you're feeling a little indulgent, a dollop of coconut whipped cream on top is heavenly!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add a tablespoon of almond butter for added creaminess and protein.
  • You can also throw in a handful of chopped dark chocolate for a delicious twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just remember to give it a little stir and a splash of almond milk when you reheat it to bring back that creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just store it in the fridge and reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave. You might want to add a splash of almond almond milk to loosen it up.
