Ingredients for 2 people
For the rice pudding:

✓ 400ml plant-based milk (e.g. almond milk or oat milk)
✓ 2 tablespoons sugar or agave syrup
✓ The pulp of a vanilla pod and the pod itself

✓ 25g sugar
✓ Juice of half an orange

Preparation of the vegan layered dessert with jasmine rice and cranberry sauce
- Prepare the rice pudding: Wash the Lotao jasmine rice thoroughly to remove excess starch. Put the rice in a pan with the plant-based milk, sugar (or honey) and the pulp of the vanilla pod and the pod itself. Simmer everything on a low heat, stirring regularly so that the rice does not burn. The rice should have a creamy consistency. As soon as it is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let the rice pudding cool.
- Cook the cranberry sauce: Wash the fresh cranberries and put them in a saucepan with the orange juice, water, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer on a medium heat and stir occasionally. After about 3 minutes, set aside some of the soft cranberries for decoration. Continue to simmer the sauce until most of the water has evaporated and it reaches a thick, jam-like consistency. Then let the sauce cool down.
- Layer and decorate: Now alternate a layer of cooled rice pudding and a layer of cranberry sauce in a glass. Repeat this process until the glass is full. Finally, decorate with the cranberries you set aside and a small sprig of rosemary. For optimal texture and taste, let the layered dessert rest in the fridge for about 2 hours.
