Growing up rice pudding was my ultimate comfort food. My mom would make it for me when I wasn’t feeling well or when I had a bad day. The warm and cozy flavor immediately made me feel better!

What is rice pudding?

Traditionally, rice pudding consists of rice, milk and/or cream, sugar, and flavorings such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

This cauliflower rice pudding recipe swaps rice for grain free, low carb cauliflower rice and dairy milk for dairy free coconut and almond milk. This recipe is refined sugar free and uses pure maple syrup as a sweetener. Healthier swaps with no sacrifice of deliciousness!
