Chocolate-Cinnamon Arroz con Leche (Chocolate Rice pudding)

Despite the fact that I consider myself an omnivore, I try not to consume too much dairy. Let’s call it a positive leftover from my vegan days 😉 I don’t purchase cow’s milk, instead using almond or coconut milk in recipes and as a beverage, and I tend to choose vegan or dairy-free desserts whenever possible since I just feel better when I enjoy sweets sans dairy. I’m also a sucker for anything that makes my life easier, and I respect products (like those from Silk) that incorporate additional nutrient value, such as protein and calcium. That’s why I love the recipe for Chocolate Rice Pudding I’m sharing with you today: it’s a multi-tasker. Not only is this pudding dairy-free, it’s simple, quick, healthy, and is the perfect dessert for a crowd. Try the spiced chocolate dessert for a satisfying end to a Cinco de Mayo celebration, bring it to a Mother’s Day brunch, or just make it a weekly tradition!

I chose Silk Almond Milk for this recipe, but you could easily add another delicious layer of flavor and nutrition with any of Silk’s products: Protein & Fiber Almondmilk, Silk Coconut milk, Soy milk, or Vanilla Almond milk.

Paying a little homage to my Mexican sistah, Frida Kahlo. I don’t know if Frida ate chocolate arroz con leche, but I’m betting she would have thought it was fabulous.

Speaking of fabulous, lemme tell you a little bit more about why I choose Silk:

-Silk offers a variety of dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free products. I enjoy drinking coconut milk, but I prefer to use almond milk in recipes. I like that Silk covers all bases.

–Silk is Non-GMO Verified. That means I can trust that my family is consuming the best ingredients.

    Ok this looks delicious! I have to say I’m kind of intimidated by recipes (they just make it seem like so much work) but this looks doable and worth it. Yum.
