Ingredients

Porridge

• 500 g rice (short grained white)
• 1 l almond milk
• 0.5 l oat milk (GF if necessary, or rice milk)
• 1 can coconut milk
• 4 dcl water
• 75 ml oat cream (optional, GF if necessary, or another kind of cream)
• 1 tsp himalayan salt

Topping

• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• vegan butter

Instructions

Rice pudding

• Turn the oven to 150°C.

  Alternatively it can be cooked in the pot but it takes less effort to use the oven and minimises the chances of the rice pudding burning/sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Rinse your rice before adding them to a pot with with the water. Cook and stir until the water is soaked by the rice (about 5 min).
• Add the oat and coconut milk to the pot. Stir until it boils, making sure it doesn't burn/stick to the bottom of the pot.
• Put a lid on the pot and set in the oven for about 45 min. You might want to have a tray under it in case it spills over.
• Take the pudding out of the oven, give it a stir and add the salt. If the texture isn't creamy enough you can add some oat cream.

  Serve in a bowl.

Topping

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon powder.
• Add about a teaspoon of butter in the middle of the porridge, letting it melt and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of the pudding.
