Spiced Rice Puds

Post by Jo @ Including Cake
These spiced rice pudding pots are beautiful and creamy, comforting classics with a spiced Christmas spin, add festive toppings to dress it up as healthily and/or indulgently as you fancy! You could also add a little cacao liquor during the final minutes of cooking to melt through as a chocolate dessert... yum!
You can use pudding rice, brown rice or even pearled spelt. Adding the coconut milk powder as it cooks gives it the creaminess and you simply need to add more or less hot water to achieve your own preferred level of texture.
As the nights get colder, warm up with this hearty dessert or snack. Great served both hot and cold.
