Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or coconut)
- 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (such as maple syrup or agave nectar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In the Instant Pot, combine the rinsed rice, plant-based milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pinch of salt.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position.
- Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting and set the cooking time to 20 minutes on high pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
- Open the Instant Pot lid and give the rice pudding a good stir. The mixture may seem liquidy at first but will thicken as it cools.
- Allow the rice pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or chilled, topped with your favorite fruits or nuts.
- Leftover rice pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
