Vegan Rice Pudding

This vegan rice pudding recipe is rich, creamy and easy to make. I've topped it with a quick winter spiced berry compote that has a sweet sharpness that contrasts the rich pudding beautifully.

Rice pudding is such a simple, yet decadently rich dessert or tasty breakfast.

It's sweet, creamy and has that lovely distinctive texture from the pudding rice.

I'm sure you've had it before; it's such a retro classic. Being mild and sweet, I like it contrasted with a sweet/tart berry compote.

This winter-spiced berry compote is easy to make with frozen fruit and I've added warming winter spices for extra flavour and aroma.

For a bit of added crunch, sprinkle mine with mixed seeds or nuts.

For the vegan rice pudding, you can use any dairy-free milk that you like.

I prefer it with almond, but coconut, soya or oat milk would all work well.

They each bring their own flavour and creaminess to the dessert.

Why you'll love this recipe

Use any vegan milk you like: soy, almond, cashew, hazelnut...

Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make vegan rice pudding!

• Vegan Butter - any dairy free butter or margarine will work.
• Rice - use short-grained sticky rice, such as pudding rice, risotto rice, arborio rice, or paella rice.
• Milk - use a dairy free vegan milk such as soy, almond milk or other non-dairy milk.
• Sugar - use superfine or caster sugar. You can also substitute stevia (use the ratio on your package for substitution guidance) or coconut sugar.
• Vanilla extract - to add sweetness and flavor.

For the berry sauce (optional)

• Frozen mixed berries - or fresh
• Superfine/caster sugar
• Ground ginger
• Vanilla extract
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground cloves

How to make Berry Sauce

Berry compote really is as easy as heating berries in a pan on the hob until it's thick and bubbling.

You can add sugar to offset the sharpness of the berries, or else try it with maple syrup or coconut sugar.

I love the heady aromas of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, but feel free to leave them out of use your favourite sweet spices.

If you're looking for other flavours, try my raspberry compote or mango compote.
