Perfect Dairy Free Instant Pot Rice Pudding

October 18, 2018 by predominantlypaleo 23 Comments

 

The search is over for the easiest, most comforting recipe ever! My Perfect Dairy Free Instant Pot Rice Pudding is done in 10 minutes and feels like home!


Perfect Dairy Free Instant Pot Rice Pudding

The weather has officially turned and while the sun still peeks out and warms the air enough to take off your sweater by late afternoon, you can tell that it will indeed be awhile until our next beach vacation. As soon as those Uggs come out you know I am hitting soup hard and seeking out all those comforting warm foods.

Now before you ask, because I know it’s coming – “Can I make this with cauli-rice?”- let’s have a talk about that. Sometimes you can sub riced cauliflower and it’s fine. It works in a sub-par, moderately acceptable way. But sometimes, not only is it the worst idea ever to sub cauli-rice,  it actually causes devastating consequences that are irrecoverable. Trust me. I tried this recipe on the stovetop with the stuff for my low carb homies. And let me tell you what… I am still trying to get that taste out of my mouth.  I legit spit it out into the sink and washed down the residual torture with rat poison just to shake it. #DontTryThisAtHome

Perfect Dairy Free Instant Pot Rice Pudding

So please dear friends, just don’t. And please don’t ask me if you can make that dreadful sub. Because if you do, you will either be met with complete silence as I choke on the very memory of how it tasted, or I will send you back to this here recipe as reference so that you can read through my very specific response to whether or not it’s a good idea. PLEASE DON’T DO IT OR RISK LIFE AND LIMB is basically how I will sum that up for you.

Perfect Dairy Free Instant Pot Rice Pudding

Bottom line, if you can eat rice, you are going to freakin’ love this recipe. And if you cannot, just keep scrolling past to the 300+ recipes on this blog that do not have any inkling of this innocuous grain. And if you still want to try subbing a vegetable trying to pretend it’s rice, then that is on you and we need to rethink our relationship, because this is not the time. Cauliflower does not want to be rice pudding. It just doesn’t. Sound good!? Okay! Let’s go!!!

    Love this! I wasn’t sure if or how much cinnamon went in originally so I just sprinkled a bunch in and it was fabulous and SO EASY! I’m making it for an Indian themed pot luck next Sunday. Thanks for another great recipe!

    First time in years and years of reading internet recipes, have I stood up from the computer, marched myself into the kitchen, and immediately made the thing. Oh, heavenly dogs, this stuff is delish! Thank you. I’ve needed a non dairy rice pudding in my life. Tiny difference I made was adding 1/8 tsp of ground cardamom to the pot. Couldn’t be easier to prepare. If I could give it ten stars, I would. Brava!

    My apologies for the probably stupid question, (I’m not a rice pudding lover, however my family is so I’m interested in trying this out for them….) but is this supposed to be served hot or cold? I thought rice pudding was a cold thing (I see it in the dairy section at grocery stores) but this recipe sounds like it’s served hot? How long will leftovers keep in the fridge? Thank you!

        Yes probably! You’d just need to follow stovetop directions from online.

    I tried making this and the flavor was awesome! However, mine came out a little dry – any advice on how I would go about increasing the moisture? Just add a bit more water maybe? I’m also an instant pot newbie so I have no experience with ‘playing around’ with recipes and am not sure how to gauge adding liquid – does a little go a long way? i.e. would I want to start with a really small amount of extra liquid, like a tablespoon? Or add another 1/4 or 1/2 cup? Thanks!

    Can and when can you add raisins? How many to the existing recipe would be ok?

      If you want them tender you can add from the beginning otherwise sprinkle them in to your taste at the end as a garnish and mix in.

    Think I could add in dates instead of syrup to sweeten? Or maybe some dried plums?

    So it’s not the *best* rice pudding I’ve ever had. But when you balance flavor depth vs amount of time/effort/dishes required… It’s definitely a winner!
    I will still make it on the stove with a proper custard for special occasions, but for those days when I’m itching for rice pudding this will come to the rescue.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
