Ingredients
Scale
1 cup almond milk
1/4 cup rice, washed and soaked
2 tablespoons jaggery (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
A few strands of saffron (optional)
Chopped almonds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cook Rice: In a saucepan, bring the almond milk to a boil. Add the soaked rice and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the rice, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and the almond milk has thickened (about 20 minutes).
Add Sweetener and Spices: Stir in the jaggery, cardamom powder, and saffron (if using). Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jaggery is fully dissolved and the kheer has a creamy consistency.
Garnish and Serve: Pour the kheer into bowls, garnish with chopped almonds if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
Notes
Rice Preparation: Soaking the rice before cooking helps it cook faster and become more tender.
Sweetener Option: Adjust the amount of jaggery to your taste, or substitute with maple syrup or coconut sugar for a different flavor.
Serving Suggestion: Almond Milk Kheer can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your preference. It makes a great dessert for festivals or special occasions.
Storage Tip: Leftover kheer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving, or enjoy it chilled.
