This dairy-free riz au lait recipe (rice pudding!) is adapted from Tom Fitzmorris’s New Orleans Food (highly recommended!).

I like making this recipe in our 2-quart Le Creuset dutch oven, but any heavy saucepan will do – I have also made this in our All-Clad 3-quart saucepan.

3/4 cup rice (I use brown rice and cook it in our rice cooker beforehand, other types of rice do not need to be precooked)

4 cups Vanilla Soy Milk

2/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup raisins

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon vanilla (optional since we are using vanilla soy milk)

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Rinse rice and put it in saucepan with soy milk, sugar, raisins, honey, vanilla (optional), salt and cinnamon. Bring the ingredients to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 20-40 minutes (depending on rice and amount of liquid). Stir frequently. Finished when a thick pudding.

Cool to room temperature (if you are patient enough!). Holds well in the refrigerator.
