Black Rice Pudding with Vanilla Bean
Ingredients
- 1 cup Agriko black rice
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 vanilla bean pod (split and scraped)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Fresh berries and edible flowers for garnish
Instructions
-
Rinse Agriko black rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, removing any debris.
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice, almond milk, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Reduce heat to low and add the split vanilla bean pod (seeds and pod), maple syrup, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently to combine.
-
Simmer uncovered for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture reaches a creamy pudding consistency. Add more milk if needed.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated. Remove the vanilla bean pod.
-
Divide the warm black rice pudding into serving glasses or bowls and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, edible flowers, or a cinnamon stick for an elegant presentation.
For even creamier pudding, blend a portion of the cooled mixture and fold it back in. The black rice can also be cooked ahead and refrigerated; simply reheat gently with additional milk and serve warm or chilled.
