almond rice pudding (german style) recipe

Since it is raining (still!!!) my craving for something sweet is enormous and rice pudding jumped right into my head. I was out of milk and used almond milk and the result was better than I even imagined.

you need for 4-5 servings:

           1 l   almond milk (classic would be whole milk)

          60 g   butter

         250 g   arborio rice (any short grain will do, 

                 but brown rice does not work well)

        1 tbsp   cinnamon

        1 tbsp   maple syrup

        1 pinch  salt

• melt the butter in a large pot
• add the rice
• salt to taste
• add 1/2 cup of almond milk at a time until absorbed, repeat until all the almond milk is gone. you will need to steer it constantly so it won't burn.
• add the cinnamon
• when the rice looks really creamy you are done.
• you can eat it hot or cold
• sprinkle with some cinnamon and maple syrup if you like it extra sweet.

Note: combine with apple sauce or cherries.......

guten appetit!!
