Coconut cauliflower rice pudding with raisins and cinnamon is a delightful twist on the traditional rice pudding. This recipe offers a lower-carb alternative by using cauliflower instead of rice, without sacrificing the creamy texture and rich flavors we all love. Combining the subtle sweetness of coconut and brown sugar with the fragrant touch of cinnamon and the chewy texture of raisins, this pudding is both nutritious and satisfying.
Instructions:
- Begin by ricing the cauliflower. Grate it using a box grater or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add the riced cauliflower, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the simmering coconut milk. Stir well to ensure an even mixture.
- Continue to cook the mixture on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower softens and the mixture begins to thicken, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot cauliflower mixture to the eggs while whisking continuously to prevent them from scrambling.
- Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the pudding thickens further.
- Stir in the raisins and dried coconut meat. Cook for a few more minutes until the raisins plump up and the flavors are well combined.
- Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or refrigerate to serve cold. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or extra dried coconut on top.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely rice the cauliflower to achieve a texture that closely resembles traditional rice pudding.
- For added flavor, toast the dried coconut meat lightly before incorporating it into the pudding.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, simmer the pudding a bit longer until it reaches your desired texture.
- You can substitute the raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates for a different flavor profile.
- For an extra touch of sweetness and crunch, consider sprinkling some toasted nuts or coconut flakes on top before serving.
