Aren’t those rice puddings pretty?  This recipe for Creamy Rice Pudding is super easy and adds an element of fun and variety by stirring in your yogurt of choice.  The yogurt not only makes the rice pudding even creamier, it adds flavor and allows you to get creative with the presentation.

This rice pudding can be served warm or cold and if you serve it cold it can be made well in advance to save you time (up to 2 days).  Then all you have to do is add the yogurt and, if you want, a little garnishing.  Or if you want to keep it informal but fun for an occasion like Monday night football, simply bring out the rice pudding along with a variety of fruity yogurts and let everyone select and stir in their own.  These are sure to satisfy the sweet cravings while offering a healthier dessert alternative!

For my dairy-free readers, I’m using Silk for today’s recipe but feel free to use any milk or yogurt of choice.  Silk’s new Cashewmilk has a nice creamy consistency, so that’s what I’m going to use, but you can use any Silk product.  For this recipe I’m using Silk’s Vanilla Cashewmilk because it will infuse the rice pudding with a nice vanilla flavor without having to add extra vanilla extract.

Going with the dairy-free theme, we’re also using Silk’s dairy-free yogurt.  I found 5 different flavors at the store and grabbed one of each for some nice variations in the rice pudding.

This recipe calls for arborio rice.  Also known as risotto rice, arborio is ideal for rice pudding because the high starch content makes it extra creamy.
Rice-Pudding-prep-1
Let’s get started!
Place all of the ingredients, except for the coconut oil, in a medium sauce pan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes.
Rice-Pudding-prep-3
Give the rice a couple of stirs during the simmering process.  It will gradually start thickening.
Rice-Pudding-prep-6
At around the 20-25 minute mark the rice will be tender and the liquid mostly absorbed.  Remove it from heat and stir in the coconut oil.
Rice-Pudding-prep-7
Spoon into individual serving bowls. Either let it cool for a few minutes and then serve warm or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled. Can be eaten warm or cold.
Either way, serve with a generous dollop of fruit yogurt or let everyone stir in their own yogurt of choice.

Your friends and family will love the colorful and flavorful selection!

    So, I cannot even tell you just how much I love this rice pudding recipe! And what a tasty and clever idea to add the flavored yogurts as stir-ins! :)

      Perfect, Brandy! We were very pleased with the results using Silk’s cashewmilk and yogurts, I think you will be, too!

    I wish we had Silk here! I’d love to try their cashewmilk. And their yogurts! The rice puddings look great. I’ve never actually tried it! It always turned me off but these really look yummy. :)

    I have never made rice pudding with yogurt. You are very creative. These rice puddings look scrumptious and I am a huge fan of Silk milk products.

    Hi Kimberly,

    Any idea to substitute Arborio with Japanese rice? Arborio is hard to get at where I live, but Japanese rice is sticky too.

      Hi KP Kwan! Absolutely, sushi rice in particular will work well because of its creamy texture.
