HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY/ LAYERED RASPBERRY RICE PUDDING

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY/ LAYERED RASPBERRY RICE PUDDING

Valentine’s day. Every recipe blog has a chocolate recipe. Sadly I have none in the house. I KNOW, NO CHOCOLATE!!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??? At least I have frozen raspberries. Red fruits go with Valentine’s nearly as much as red roses and CHOCOLATE.

I had something tall (a glass), creamy with raspberry ripple in my head. I thought a rice pudding would do nicely. My husband loves rice pudding. However, as I started to layer it, he told me he doesn’t like his rice pudding with fruit... hm I guess this could be bit of a failure, especially since I put apple juice into the cooking liquid. Yes he wasn't impressed. I guess I will have to come up with another Valentine’s recipe for him...

Luckily my son does enjoy fruit with his rice pudding. If he had a tongue like a giraffe he would have licked the glass clean. Therefore if you like fruit with your rice pudding than this is a recipe for you, if not you could make my chocolate pot I made couple years ago.

LAYERED RASPBERRY RICE PUDDING

ingredients
1/2 cup (100g) arborio rice
1/2 cup apple juice
2 cups almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs coconut nectar sugar

2 cup raspberries, I used frozen
2 tsp coconut sugar
1tbs water

  1. In a medium saucepan combine rice, apple juice, almond milk, vanilla extract and coconut nectar sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 30min until the rice is very soft and sauce is thick. Stir occasionally.
  3. To make the raspberry layer in a small sauce pan heat the raspberries with coconut nectar sugar and one tablespoon of water. Cook until the raspberries collapse into a thick chunky sauce (I do like the seeds in but you can strain the sauce).
  4. In a tall glass layer the creamy rice with raspberries, finishing the glass with the raspberry layer.
