Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk (such as soy or almond)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
  • 1 cup uncooked medium grain white rice
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  • Place the non-dairy milk, coconut milk, rice, raisins, maple syrup, vanilla, orange zest, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large pot.
  • Stir the ingredients together and place the pot over medium heat.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook at a low simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot with a spoon to remove any rice that sticks.
  • Allow the mixture to cook for about 20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness.
  • Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Stir in the vegan butter, if using, and salt.
  • Taste test and add more maple syrup if desired. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.
  • Let the pudding cool for a bit. Chill for later or serve warm.
