Cream of rice is a sweet vegan treat made by cooking rice with water, sweetener, and soy or rice milk, then pureeing it to create a thick mixture that can be chilled to create an ice cream substitute. It can be prepared in a variety of flavors, from classic vanilla to spiced cinnamon, and can be served with an assortment of sauces. In addition to being vegan, this dish is also low in calories, especially calories from fat, making it suitable for people who are concerned about their calorie consumption.
To make rice cream, cooks will need two parts water, two parts non-dairy milk such as rice, soy, or nut milk, and one part white rice. Rice must be rinsed before use to remove some of the starch. The ingredients are combined in a heavy pot or saucepan, with sweeteners such as sugar or maple syrup added to taste, along with any desired flavorings. Rum, cinnamon, chocolate, mint and coffee are some starting ideas, although the imagination can run wild.
The rice mixture should be cooked until the rice is soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, which will take about an hour and a half, before being pureed or pureed. The creamier the cream of rice is allowed to get at this stage, the smoother it will be after being cooled. If inclusions such as chocolate chips, nuts or dried fruit are to be added, they can be folded in after the cream of rice has been blended.
Once the cream of rice has been made, it should be transferred to a bowl and refrigerated, or run through an ice cream maker to freeze. Direct freezing will result in a frozen mass and is not recommended. Cream of rice can be served just like regular ice cream with things like chocolate sauce, caramel, fresh fruit, and various other flavored syrups and toppings.
Besides being eaten as an ice cream, rice pudding can also be used as a cold sweet dessert for things like cakes, cupcakes, sandwiches, and so on. Cream of rice is also an excellent filling for cakes and pies, in a vegan key with traditional cream fillings. Other innovative uses for cream of rice include vegan s’mores, side dishes for dessert dishes and, if left unsweetened, as a side dish for vegan “cream” soups.
