DAIRY-FREE BLACK RICE PUDDING

Dairy-Free Black Rice Pudding image

After hearing about how healthy black rice is, I started trying to find ways to get the kids to eat it. Making a rice pudding has worked out great for us and the kids love it. It is important to use short-grain rice - we use glutinous black rice.
