The recipe was created by a busy working mom who wanted to make a soothing, low-histamine dessert for her children. Inspired by her childhood memories of her grandmother's rice pudding, she decided that this classic dish would be perfect. She took her grandmother's recipe and adapted it to be low histamine, using almond milk in place of cow's milk and fresh berries as a safe, low-histamine fruit topping.

0Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

5Remove from heat and discard the vanilla bean.

Tipps

Choose the Right Rice

Short-grain rice is best for making creamy rice pudding. Long-grain rice may result in a less creamy texture.

Using the Vanilla Bean

To get the most flavor from your vanilla bean, split it lengthwise and scrape out the seeds inside. Add both the seeds and the pod to your pot for maximal flavor.

Stir Frequently

Stir the pudding frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.

Check Rice for Doneness

Rice grains should be tender when done. If they're still a little hard, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Serve Warm

Rice pudding is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed cold. Just be sure to place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Fresh Berries

Berries are low in histamine and bring a pop of juicy flavor and color to your pudding. Feel free to use any other low-histamine fruits of your choice.
