Mango Cardamom Sweet Brown Rice Pudding

Easy  |  Servings: 4 |  Ready In: 40 minutes |  Yield: about 4 cups

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sweet brown rice
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup frozen mango (thawed), plus more for garnish
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
• 1 1/2  cups water
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened, plain almond milk

How It’s Done

To make the Mango Cardamom Sweet Brown Rice Pudding: In a medium pot, combine the sweet brown rice, cardamom, banana, mango, almond milk, and water.  Cover and bring to a boil.  Reduce to a simmer.
Simmer 30-35 minutes, until the rice is tender. Remove the lid and cook another minute, just to “tighten up” the rice into a creamy pudding.

Serve the pudding into bowls.  Top with extra diced mango.

Yields: About 4 cups

Chef Katie’s Tips:

No Sweet Brown Rice? If you can’t find sweet brown rice, substitute with another short grain brown rice, purple sticky rice, or brown sushi rice.

Freeze your Ripe Bananas: Save over-ripe bananas in the freezer: Simply peel, break into pieces, and store in a plastic bag.  When ready to make this recipe, thaw out in your refrigerator overnight.

Rice Balls with Leftovers: You can use leftover rice pudding for sticky rice balls. Once completely cooled, just portion off about 1 tablespoon, roll into ball, and chill until ready to snack. 

No Refined Sugars or Syrups: I’m on a mission to avoid using sugar, maple syrup, and other refined sweeteners.  These ingredients leave you feeling hungry and can spike a sweet-tooth craving that pushes you to overeat.  For this recipe, whole foods, natural sweetness comes from unsweetened applesauce, banana, and dates.
