Creamy Rice Pudding (Milchreis)
This incredibly creamy rice pudding is an excellent meal-prep staple that makes a nourishing breakfast, easy snack, or simple dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup arborio rice rinsed
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup water filtered
- 1 tbsp almond butter smooth, optional
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
Toppings
- 4 tsp maple syrup optional
- 4 tbsp slivered almonds optional
Instructions
- Add the arborio rice to a colander and rinse it with cold water.1 cup arborio rice
- Add all ingredients to a large pot and thoroughly combine them.1 cup arborio rice, 2 cups milk, 1 cup water, 1 tbsp almond butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 pinch salt, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat down to a gentle simmer. Cook the rice pudding for 40 minutes until the rice is softened. Stir it every 5 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn at the bottom of the pot.
- Remove the pot from the stove and let it cool down for 15 minutes. It will continue to cook and absorb the oat milk so don't be alarmed if it seems too liquid.
- Serve it with a topping of your choice. A generous serving of maple syrup, slivered almonds, and some more cinnamon are my favorite. Enjoy!
