Rice Pudding (Dairy, Egg, Gluten and Refined Sugar Free)

I LOVE rice pudding.  Here is my version which we eat for breakfast, snack or dessert.  It turns out really nice and thick with the coconut cream and there is no need for an egg.  I enjoy it with some raisins and cinnamon but feel free to add your own fruits, nuts seeds or spices if you prefer.

Ingredients (serves 3-4)

• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 1/2-3/4 cup water or coconut milk
• 1/2 cup rinsed brown or white rice
• 7-8 drops liquid stevia
• 1 1/2 teaspoon gluten free vanilla (or use vanilla stevia)
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

• In a large pot add coconut cream, milk/water, raisins and rice.  Bring to a boil and cook on medium to low heat stirring frequently until rice is cooked; about 10 minutes.  
• Stir in stevia and vanilla.
• Serve warm or cold.
