There are many varieties of dairy-free milks including soya, oat, coconut, rice, and almond milk. When choosing a dairy-free milk, consider allergens such as soya or nuts, as well as individual preference, when selecting the best choice of milk to use.

Ingredients

  • 60g pudding rice
  • 200ml apple juice
  • 400ml alternative to milk
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp honey (not for vegans) or maple syrup
  • 2 dessert apples
  • 100g blackberries or any other berry
  • Additional 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, if blackberries are not sweet)

        Method

        1. Wash the rice and then place in a heavy-based pan with the apple juice. Bring to the boil and simmer with the lid off
        2. Add the dairy-free milk, cinnamon and honey (or maple syrup). Bring back up to the boil and simmer with the lid off for 30m, stirring occasionally (more often in the last 5m) until thickened. (You may need to add a couple of spoonfuls of water if it is too thick.)
        3. While the rice is cooking, peel, core and slice the apples. Add to a pan with the blackberries and honey (or maple syrup, if using). Cover and simmer for 10m, until the apples ‘fluff’ up. Keep covered until required. You can blend the topping at this point to make it smooth.
        4. To assemble, spoon a quarter of the rice pudding into a small dish and top with the apple and blackberry mixture. Serve hot or cold.
        5. If you are not eating this straight away, cool and chill rice quickly and eat within 24hrs of cooking.
