1 cup short-grain white rice

2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

0In a large saucepan, bring the rice, water, and salt to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
1Stir in the coconut milk and sugar. Increase the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is very tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency. Make sure to stir the pudding regularly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
2Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool for a few minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
3Serve the pudding warm, or cover it and refrigerate to serve it chilled.

Choosing the Right Rice

Short-grain white rice is recommended for this recipe because it releases starch as it cooks, leading to a naturally creamy texture in the pudding. Arborio or sushi rice are good options if you can't find short-grain white rice.

Coconut Milk Substitute

If coconut milk isn't to your liking, you can use other low-histamine, dairy-free alternatives like rice milk. The texture may slightly differ but the pudding should still be creamy.

Stir Regularly

It's important to stir the pudding regularly once you've added the coconut milk and sugar. This ensures the rice doesn't stick to the pan and that the sugar dissolves evenly, resulting in a creamy consistency.

Adding Flavor

For added flavor, consider sprinkling some low-histamine fruits on top just before serving, like fresh peeled pears or blueberries. Remember, freshness is key to keeping histamine levels low.

Serving Suggestion

This pudding can be enjoyed both warm and cold, so consider your personal preference or even the season. A cold pudding can be very refreshing in the summer, while a warm pudding is extra comforting in cooler weather.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover rice pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume as soon as possible to prevent histamine build-up.
