Rice pudding is a very traditional Portuguese dessert, made with cows’ milk and eggs. Here is the same flavour, veganised.

Method

  • Rinse the rice with water until the water is clear.
  • Put the washed rice in a big saucepan with the water, salt, cinnamon stick and lemon rind.
  • Cook it on medium heat until the water has evaporated.
  • Then add the milk (don’t let the rice stick or burn) and wait till it bubbles; keep stirring.
  • Now add the sugar and keep stirring for some minutes until everything is creamy.
  • Even if it’s a bit runny, don’t worry, it will thicken once it’s cold.
  • Turn off the heat and add the lemon zest.
  • Pour everything into a low dish and let it cool down, as it cools down it will thicken more.
  • When it is cold have fun decorating with cinnamon powder.
