If you like chewy, creamy rice pudding, but are intolerant to lactose, you will love this recipe! A vegan, wholesome 'tummy friendly' blend of red rice, rice milk and coconut milk.
A good choice for those of us with Celiac disease, IBS, a wheat allergy or gluten sensitivity. Best thing is its body nourishing but also extremely satisfying. Rice malt syrup takes the place of sugar, ideal for those with a sensitivity to fructose.
Its amazingly simple to make, stores well in the fridge (for about 2-3 days) and tastes great.
Red rice has a red husk and is usually eaten unhulled. It has a higher fibre content than white rice and takes a bit longer than white rice to cook. It has a dense, chewy texture which works well in this sweet pudding recipe.
I used a vanilla bean to flavour this rice pudding, but other flavours like orange, or rose extract would work well too.
So many different types of fruit pair well with rice pudding. I like strawberry and mango.

I'm a big fan of simple recipes that don't need fancy equipment. For this recipe it does help to have a good heavy bottomed pan.
