My inspiration for this dessert came out of the new edition of 125 Best Vegan Recipes
Originally published in 2005, it has a new look with new additions and photos. While a number of the recipes feature soy creamer, tofu and some faux-meats, there is plenty to choose from that doesn’t (that is if you avoid soy). It covers everything but breakfast, from appetizers to soups to dinner and dessert.
And adapting is easy, I used coconut milk, rather than the rice or soy milk called for. If anything, this easy to make rice pudding was the best rice pudding I have ever made. Creamy, with subtle citrus flavor. And so simple to make while dinner cooked!
