I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted. It seems like forever anyway. Sometimes life gets ahead of you and you’re not sure where the time went. Let’s see, there was a week where I came up with the best recipe ever – 3 simple ingredients to chocolate heavenly bliss. And super healthy by the way; healthy enough that you can indulge in it at night and not feel guilty about it. But the presentation lacked pizzazz so I had to put it on hold for now. Then I attempted to make something else but it totally kiboshed. Slightly disappointing. However, that all changed when I tried my hands at making rice pudding – Coconut Rice Pudding to be exact.
Excited to make it happen, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work {well, I was actually in a t-shirt….} The first attempt was mediocre. The second, Eureka! {Cue hallelujah music} I love it when it doesn’t take me a few tries to get a recipe right perfect.
This pudding has a middle-eastern flair that my family and I love, and the perfect hint of sweetness. Of course, the beauty of this recipe is you can customize how sweet you’d like it to be, even after it has set. It’s fool-proof and practically mess free..if you don’t count the one pot.
With Super Bowl weekend here, pizza, nacho concoctions, and grease galore comes to mind. But why not indulge in a healthy, tummy friendly, comforting, and absolutely delicious treat instead? Clear it with the football fanatics first or surprise them, I take no responsibility. :) This takes little time to make and the results will speak for themselves.
So without further ado, here’s the simplest, tastiest, top 10 allergen free, Coconut Rice Pudding!
