Brown Rice Pudding (Instant Pot)

Brown Rice Pudding (Instant Pot)

Great rice pudding is creamy with just the right amount of “bite” in the rice and a level of sweetness that’s appealing but not overwhelming. That’s what I was aiming for this this brown rice pudding without sugar, milk, or butter. Some raw cashews lend their creaminess, maple syrup provides the sweetness, and the optional spices of cardamom and cinnamon take it beyond the ordinary. With creative toppings (also healthy), you can create a dessert fit for a dinner party as well as a week night.
