Here's a delicious recipe using non-dairy almond milk. For those children with dairy or soy sensitivities, Almond Breeze® is an excellent alternative. Almond milk is bursting with natural nutrients (Vitamin, A, D, & E), and is low in calories, so even Mom doesn’t have to feel guilty about enjoying these healthy, sweet treats!
Ingredients 1 cup leftover cooked rice, preferably basmati or jasmine
1 cup Almond Milk
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1 cup sliced almonds, roasted
1 teaspoon honey
Directions Combine rice, almond milk and cinnamon in a small saucepan.
Turn heat to medium and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, until milk is thicker and rice is a bit creamy. To serve, place in a bowl, top with almonds and drizzle with honey.
Microwave instructions: Combine rice, milk and cinnamon in a microwave-safe serving bowl. Cook on full power for 1 minute, then stir and cook 1-2 more minutes, until milk is thicker and rice is a bit creamy. Top with almonds and drizzle with honey.
To roast almonds:
Spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in 350F oven and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant; stir once or twice to assure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
