Rice Pudding
How do you make creamy rice pudding?
Cook the washed rice in a pot with plant-based milks, cinnamon, anise, spices, vanilla, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Add plant-based condensed milk, mix, and cook for 10 more minutes until the rice is tender and the texture is creamy. Serve cold sprinkled with cinnamon.
A recipe inspired by my mother's, who filled the house with that delicious and indulgent aroma that makes rice pudding so special whenever she prepared it. It is an extremely easy dessert to make, and there are thousands of variations; the one I am sharing today is my favorite. I prepare it with plant-based milks, but it can also be made with cow's milk if desired.

Servings: Serves 8
Ingredients
- 250 g Carnaroli rice, or generally a small risotto-style rice
- 1 L unsweetened rice plant-based milk
- 500 ml unsweetened soy milk
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 2 star anise pods
- 1 organic lemon (only the peel is used)
- ½ teaspoon mixed sweet spices (ground ginger, ground anise, ground cloves, ground cinnamon)
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 can condensed milk (397 g)
Instructions
Start by washing the rice very well.
Cut the vanilla bean in half and gently scrape out the seeds.
In a high-sided pot, place the rice, plant-based milks, cinnamon sticks, star anise pods, and the ½ teaspoon of spices.
Wash the organic lemon and gently grate the peel.
Chop it finely.
Add the peel to the pot, cook over medium-high heat until it boils, then lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes over medium-low heat, uncovered.
Add the condensed milk, stir well, and cook for another 10 minutes over medium-low heat.
After the last 10 minutes, check that the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquids, but not too much, because the idea is for it to remain creamy and moist. If so, turn off the heat and remove from the stove.
Let it cool and enjoy with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon.
Enjoy your meal!
