Quick Cinnamon-Almond Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup leftover cooked rice, preferably basmati or jasmine 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sliced almonds roasted
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Combine rice, almond milk and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Turn heat to medium and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, until milk is thicker and rice is a bit creamy. To serve, place in a bowl, top with almonds and drizzle with honey. Microwave instructions: Combine rice, milk and cinnamon in a microwave-safe serving bowl. Cook on full power for 1 minute, then stir and cook 1-2 more minutes, until milk is thicker and rice is a bit creamy. Top with almonds and drizzle with honey.
To roast almonds:
Spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in 350ÅŸF oven and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant; stir once or twice to assure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
