Creamy Dreamy Rice Pudding (Non-Dairy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup arborio rice (short grain Italian rice)
1 1/2 cups water
3 cups unsweetened soymilk (beverage)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (use a bean if you've got it)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg

Preparation

Boil the water and rice together on medium heat until the rice releases its starch and becomes creamy.
Add 1 cup soy milk and the maple syrup. Simmer, stirring frequently until most of the soy milk is absorbed, and the rice is bubbly and thick (about 7 minutes).
Add second and third cups of soy milk in the same manner as the first, continuing to stir frequently.
When the pudding has reached the desired creaminess (about 5 minutes following last soy milk addition), remove from heat and add the vanilla and spices.
Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon.
The pudding may be eaten warm or cold, and will firm up a little as it cools.
Store covered in the refrigerator up to two days, if it lasts that long.
Enjoy!
