This Cauliflower Rice Pudding recipe is the ultimate comfort food. And each serving has just 4g net carbs.
Greetings low carb travelers.
Today I'm going to share my recipe for one of the world's greatest comfort foods: rice pudding. Warm or cold, this pudding always hits the spot. "But rice is off limits on a low carb diet!" you might say. Well, stay with me for a minute as I tell you the next bit. Sit down.
Ok, here goes- this is Cauliflower Rice Pudding.
Everybody still with me?
Ok, good. It's actually not as weird as it seems. We ask cauliflower to stand in for all kinds of things on a low carb diet. Rice, potatoes, even cream. So today we're going to sweeten some cauliflower rice with a sugar-free brown sugar substitute, spice it with cinnamon, and fill it with plump unsweetened dried cranberries. Once we give it this little makeover, you'll never suspect there is cauliflower in your pudding. And the great part is that each serving of Cauliflower Rice Pudding has just 4g net carbs.
So let's take a moment, and bask in the mighty power of cauliflower.

You can also use Miracle Rice instead of cauliflower.

You know. What, I’ve actually got another recipe for shirataki rice pudding that you could use. This will. Be easier than trying to modify the other recipe. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/keto-rice-pudding/

Just a quick question, step 3 doesn’t ever combine the rest of the cauliflower (other than the first 1/4 cup) with the egg yolk mixture. Should that happen before or after returning the yolk mixture to the stove for 5 minutes?
EmilyKrill says
When it says “Return the yolk mixture to the stove.” that means that you mix the yolk mixture back into the rest off the cauliflower in the pot on the stove. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I'll change the word "stove" to "pan" so that it's more clear. Thanks.

So I am kinda obsessed with rice pudding and it is nice to see that I don't have to give it up on a Keto diet. The additions of the craisins really gives this a great flavor.

I've never had cauliflower rice but this looks like real rice. I get what you say about cauliflower being versatile so this sounds like a great idea for pudding!
EmilyKrill says
It doesn't sound like it would be good at first, but after you simmer the cauliflower rice for a long time in cream and add cinnamon and sweetener, you really would be hard press to tell the difference.

Cauliflower rice is so amazing! I would have never thought to make a rice pudding with it! So creative! Love the idea of adding craisins too!
EmilyKrill says
Thanks! The craisins really do make it.
