Gatnabour (Armenian Rice Pudding)

Again on lent I crave everything I can't have, but I guess that's just the way the world just works. You want everything you can't and/or don't have.

Even though we can't have any animal products that didn't stop me! I substituted the milk for coconut milk and almond milk.
(Pictures to come!)

Recipe (for 12 bowls or 6 large cups)
   
Ingredients

– 1 cup white rice (round)
– 1 cup water
– 5 cups of almond milk
– 1 can of coconut milk
– 2 cups sugar
– 1 tbsp rose water
– cinnamon to garnish
– crushed or finely ground pistachio to garnish

Procedure

1. Wash the rice and boil in water for about 10 minutes at medium heat, until all the water gets absorbed.
2. Add the 5 cups of almond milk and coconut milk to the boiled rice and continuously stir while still at medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until the starch of the rice mixes and thickens the milk.
3. Add 1½ cups of sugar and continue stirring for another 5 minutes.
4. Once the sugar is fully mixed in, remove from heat and add the rose water.
5. Separate into individual bowls and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or pistachio.
6. Let cool and set for about 5 minutes, then enjoy!
