Mochi rice pudding with vanilla cherries

Servings 6

Ingredients

For the rice pudding

  • 1 cup Mochi rice
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 4 tbsp cashew nuts
  • 1 l + 2 cups almond milk
  • 3 tbsp coconut flakes
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom seeds
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 4 tbsp coconut sugar (maple syrup works fine as well)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For the vanilla cherries

  • 300 grams frozen cherries, fresh cherries would be even better
  • 1 tsp ground vanilla or vanilla essence
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a pot and roast the cashew nuts until golden brown. Add the Mochi rice and roast for a few seconds. Add in all other ingredients and stir well. Let it come to a boil and let it simmer for about an hour on low heat. Stir in between to prevent burning. The rice pudding is done if the rice is soft and has turned to a creamy consistency.
  2. For the vanilla cherries heat all ingredients in a small pot and let it simmer for a few minutes. Serve the Mochi rice pudding topped with the cherries.
