Rice pudding is a comforting dessert that has been around since ancient times. But this Pineapple Rice Pudding recipe gives the classic treat a new life with some tangy fruit!
Kids of all ages can enjoy this updated comfort food as a snack or dessert. You can even serve this pudding packed in a thermos in your lunch box! This rice pudding is made with brown rice, almond milk, and—for extra fruity flavor—crushed pineapple.
When I want to get cozy, I prefer rice pudding over pretty much any other dessert. But I can also go for a decadent bread pudding, too, like this extra sweet and creamy Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread Pudding.
Scones are another great, old-fashioned treat. These Peanut Butter and Jam Scones aren't quite as sweet as pudding, but they still make for a great treat. Alternatively, a cup of delicious Vegan Gingerbread Hot Chocolate can keep you warm and comfy, too!
