    Ingredients for the rice pudding

    ingredients for oat milk rice pudding

    The ingredients for this dairy free creamed rice recipe is so simple and straightforward. Most of them can already be found in your pantry and fridge.

    The ingredients you will need to make this oat milk rice pudding:

    • Jasmine rice - The rice is the main component of this dish. Jasmine rice is preferable to other rices for rice pudding because of how deliciously fluffy it gets.
    • Oat milk - Oat milk makes the pudding so creamy. I've tested this recipe with other plant based milks and oat it the absolute best.
    • Sugar - Granulated sugar adds the much needed sweetness in this dish.
    • Butter - You can use dairy butter, but for the sake of keeping this dairy free, I used vegan butter.
    • Eggs - The eggs add to the creamy texture and yellow color which I love.
    • Vanilla extract - In addition to the sugar, the vanilla adds delicious flavor.

    Ingredient swaps

    This recipe cannot be modified much, but here are a few ways in which it can be:

    • Use slightly more or less sugar. If you like your rice pudding super sweet , you can add a bit more sugar than the recipe calls for.
    • Make it dairy or plant based using a different milk/butter. I chose to use vegan butter and oat milk because I am dairy free, however, dairy butter and whole milk will yield the same delicious results! You can also use almond milk in this recipe.

    Equipment

    • 1 Medium pot

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups raw Jasmine rice
    • 3 cups oat milk full-fat version
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon plant-based butter I use the Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    • Begin with cooking the Jasmine rice according to package directions. Typically, you boil 3 cups of cold water in a medium pot. Then, pour in the raw rice and mix. Bring rice & water to a simmer & turn to low heat while covering the pot. Cook on a low simmer for 18 minutes, then turn off the heat. Allow the rice to steam in the pot for 5 minutes before uncovering and fluffing with a fork. 
    • Once the rice is cooked, keep it in the pot and mix in milk & sugar. 
    • Return the pot to the stovetop and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring the milk mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and cook at a simmer. Mix every few minutes so the rice doesn’t burn at the bottom of the pot. 
    • Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice & milk has thickened. 
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs & vanilla extract. 
    • Pour 2 cups of the hot rice mixture into the eggs and whisk fast, so the eggs don’t curdle & cook. 
    • Pour the tempered egg-rice mixture back into the pot and mix until combined. Cook for another 2 minutes; the mixture will continue to thicken. Mix in the vegan butter.
    • Transfer the rice pudding mixture to a 9” x 13” glass dish, dust with cinnamon and allow to cool completely before covering with plastic wrap and placing in the fridge to set.
    • Once ready to serve, scoop into bowls and top with fruit, chopped nuts or coconut flakes.

    Notes

    • Feel free to cook the rice a day in advance and store covered in the fridge. Then, you can take out the rice and proceed with the recipe.
    • This rice pudding can be served cold or warm.
    • Oat milk substitute: You can also use almond milk or another plant-based milk if you don't have access to oat milk.
    • Topping ideas: Sprinkle with cinnamon or even add fruits, nuts or seeds. I topped my bowls with pomegranate seeds, coconut flakes and chopped pistachios.
