Don’t you love a recipe that is healthy enough to be eaten for breakfast, but also is delicious enough to satisfy your sweet cravings to make it dessert worthy? I don’t normally serve dessert, but as soon as I am pregnant, I want all the desserts. I think that I am going to have to put a self imposed ban on Instagram/Facebook when I hop into bed as I am always seeming to stumble across recipes that give me pregnancy cravings at that time.

And whilst I am up in Sydney looking after the boys by myself {the husband needed to stay in Canberra for a little longer to tie up some loose ends} I doubt that I can call on a neighbour to run out and get something to fill my sweet pregnancy craving.

This recipe is great as I can prepare it as a sweet treat for breakfast and then I can keep any leftovers for dessert.

BLACK RICE PUDDING

1 cup black rice
1/2 tsp of sea salt
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of chopped palm sugar
1/2 cup of water
200 mls coconut cream

fresh banana and berries for serving {or what ever you can get your hands on}

Place rice, salt and water in a pot and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, grate the palm sugar into half a cup of water and then simmer until dissolved. Add the syrup into the rice pudding and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Serve warm with whipped coconut cream and fresh fruit.

Did you know that you could whip coconut cream, like fresh cream made from milk? Do you enjoy recipes that don’t use traditional dairy? Are you lactose intolerant?

Have you ever whipped up a recipe from my blog? I would love for you to let me know…So I don’t feel as if I am just writing all this stuff down for nothing… If you choose to whip up one of my recipes , then I would love for you to share it on social media, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #goodfoodweek.
