Almond Milk Rice Pudding w/ Chocolate cover Blueberries

Who wants pudding?


My grandmother always made rice pudding when I was a kid. I was a picky kid and would not eat it. I remember my dad and sister fighting over the skin on the top of the rice pudding.  Yuck!



I have honestly never tried my grandmother's rice pudding.  I am big on texture and soupy rice didn't seem appetizing. When I thought of making rice pudding for my blog I knew that I didn't want to use my family recipe.  I wanted to make it a little different and less soupy. 


This almond milk rice pudding recipe is just sweet enough. Not soupy at all. This pudding has a thick, creamy texture. The chocolate cover blueberries adds a yummy tartness. I love when the pudding is hot and it melts the chocolate just a bit. I made the chocolate cover blueberries on my own. It was really messy! I have not worked with chocolate since culinary school and I forgot how temperamental it can be. By time the holiday season is over I am sure that I will have my chocolate skills back.


I was nervous when I  went to make this pudding. I was scared that I would not like rice pudding. I am happy that I made it because I loved it.  It hit the spot! I think when I go home next I might try to make my family's recipe with my grandmother. Who knows maybe I will like it!!
