1/2 cup short grain white rice

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 fresh pear, cored and diced

Instructions

0In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the milk has been mostly absorbed.
1Once the rice is cooked, add the honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well, then continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
2Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh diced pear.

Tipps

Choosing the Rice

Short grain white rice is perfect for this recipe because of its starchy content, which gives the pudding a naturally creamy texture. Always remember to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any possible histamine triggers.

Selecting the Almond Milk

Almond milk is a great low-histamine alternative to regular milk. However, ensure it's unsweetened and doesn't contain any additives, as these can increase histamine levels.

Sweetening with Honey

Honey is a great natural sweetener that's generally well-tolerated on a low-histamine diet. However, it's always good to test your personal tolerance to honey as this can vary from person to person.

Adding Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract can provide a lovely flavor to desserts. Opt for pure vanilla extract instead of imitation varieties, which may contain histamine-triggering additives.

Using Fresh Pear

Fresh pears add a burst of freshness to the rice pudding. Make sure the pear is fresh and consumed shortly after cutting to avoid any potential histamine build-up.

Sprinkling Cinnamon

A little bit of cinnamon can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of this dish. However, if you're sensitive to spices, you may want to omit it.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover rice pudding, it's best to consume it within 24 hours and kept in the refrigerator to prevent any histamine build-up.
