Vegan and sugar-free sushi rice pudding with either sushi or arborio rice cooked in flavorful coconut milk and maple syrup. A subtle sweetness without the use of refined sugars make this a healthy and delicious plant-based meal.
Rinse the rice under cold running water. Combine the rice, coconut milk and water in a pot and bring to boil. Then reduce to a gentle simmer and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring from time to time, adding more water it necessary, to stop the rice from sticking to the pot. The aim is to achieve rice with a very sticky consistency.
Once the rice has cooked, remove from the heat and stir through the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt.
Serve the rice podding warm or chilled, with the toppings.
Rice pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The rice will firm up in the fridge, so add additional water/coconut milk when reheating.
