Strawberries and Cream Rice Pudding

Rice pudding recipe & content provided by Veronica Culver, The Enchanted Cook

Savor the sweetness of freshly picked, ripe strawberries in this warm, deliciously creamy rice pudding. This luscious pudding is especially good when using strawberries that are in peak season; generally that’s April – June for strawberries grown in the U.S. This rice pudding recipe is sweet and tangy, creamy and rich — it checks all the dessert boxes. It’s an incredible treat perfect for a carb re-feed day or as a dessert on a day where you’ve had very few carbs and want a sweet nightcap. Sweetened only with birch xylitol, it has no added sugar. One serving contains approximately 18g net carbs.

This recipe couldn’t be easier to make. There’s no baking required, and all the ingredients get thrown into one pan to cook at once. It’s especially great for using up leftover rice. Or if you’re like me, I keep small batches of this Bulletproof low-carb rice recipe in my freezer so I always have some on hand when I need it. I leave out the honey and butter the recipe calls for so I have plain rice that I can use however I like.
