Dairy-free rice pudding without eggs is a creamy, delicious vegan sutlac that’s easy to make on the stovetop. This comforting dessert or snack is gluten-free, plant-based, and flavored with almond milk and cinnamon.
Pour almond milk into a large, deep pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent overflow.
3 + ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
Stir in uncooked rice, then lower heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, especially during the first 4–5 minutes to prevent sticking. Cook 15–20 minutes until rice is soft and slightly mushy.
½ cup uncooked white rice
After 15 minutes of cooking, stir in sugar. Add cinnamon if desired. Continue simmering 5–10 minutes until the pudding thickens. Taste and adjust sweetness.
⅓ cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Spoon pudding into serving dishes. Let set 30–60 minutes for extra thick, creamy texture. Can be served warm or cold.
Notes
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure a creamy texture.
Simmer gently over medium-low heat to avoid curdling.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat gently or enjoy chilled.
