A creamy and nutritious rice pudding infused with vanilla and cinnamon, topped with fresh blueberries for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 cup short-grain white rice (about 190g, Arborio recommended)
  • 4 cups low-fat milk (960ml, skim or dairy-free options)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (150g)
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions 

  • Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine rice, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Simmer uncovered, stirring every 5 minutes, for 25-30 minutes until thick and tender.
  • Stir in lemon zest and blueberries, then let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired; serve warm or chilled.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk instead of low-fat milk.
