Step-by-Step Guide to Making Sugar-Free Rice Pudding: A Healthy Dessert
1 - Preparing the Cornstarch: The Thickening Agent
In a mixing cup, combine 5 tablespoons of cornstarch with a small amount of organic milk. Stir this mixture well before using, as cornstarch tends to settle.
Pro Tip: Use a measuring spoon to avoid over-thickening your healthy rice pudding.
3 - Incorporating Natural Sweeteners and Flavorings
Add organic milk, erythritol, and liquid Stevia to the pot. Slice the vanilla pod, extract the seeds, and add both seeds and pod to the mixture.
4 - Final Cooking Stage: Achieving Creamy Consistency
Continue cooking for 20-25 minutes. Add the cornstarch-milk mixture and stir until you achieve a creamy texture.
5 - Cooling and Storing: Make Ahead for Meal Prep
Transfer the rice pudding to a container and allow it to cool. Store in the refrigerator for best results.
Now you can enjoy a delicious sugar-free rice pudding, perfect for those looking for a healthy and tasty alternative to what is normally found in supermarkets and discount stores, which are generally full of sugars.

Calorie Calculation Per Serving
Considering that the amount of rice pudding prepared allows for at least 5 generous servings of about 220gr, to find out the number of kcal per serving of our dessert, we simply divide the total kcal by five. To calculate the weight of each serving, we made an approximate estimate of both the amount of water (present in the milk) that evaporates during cooking and the percentage of liquid absorbed by the rice as it cooks.
