As I've cut out diary for the last 6ish months, I wanted to make a dessert that I can eat, so here is my vegan friendly diary free spiced rice pudding similar to Indian Kheer.
Adding coconut milk was a great addition as the cinnamon with the coconut gives it a beautiful flavour and the lemon gives it that tazz! I actually loved this dessert, it really made my Diwali meal that extra indulgence! Using italian rice was such a great idea, as made the rice pudding light and delicious with big fat grains of rice.
