Low‑GI Rice Pudding That Doesn’t Suck

Low‑GI Rice Pudding That Doesn’t Suck

Let's be honest. When you hear "healthy dessert," your expectations probably drop. And a "healthy rice pudding" sounds like it could be the worst offender—a bland, joyless bowl of something that only vaguely resembles the creamy, comforting kheer of your childhood.

We're here to tell you it doesn't have to be that way. You can have a luxuriously creamy, perfectly sweet, and utterly delicious rice pudding that is also genuinely good for you. The secret isn't in taking things away; it's in a smart ingredient swap. By using Befach Wellness Low-GI, Fortified Rice, you can create a dessert that is both guilt-free and glorious.

Creamy & Guilt-Free Low-GI Rice Pudding Recipe

This recipe is simple, comforting, and packed with flavor, not sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Befach Wellness Rice
  • 4 cups Milk (or unsweetened almond milk for a lighter version)
  • 4-5 Green Cardamom Pods, lightly crushed
  • A few strands of Saffron (optional)
  • 2-3 tbsp Stevia, Monk Fruit Sweetener, or a small amount of Jaggery (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup chopped Nuts (almonds, pistachios) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Wash the Rice: Gently wash the 1/2 cup of Befach Rice under running water.
  2. Simmer Gently: In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the washed rice, milk, and crushed cardamom pods. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low.
  3. Slow Cook to Perfection: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. The rice will soften, and the milk will thicken and become creamy.
  4. Add Flavor: If using saffron, soak it in a tablespoon of warm milk for a few minutes, then add it to the pot. Stir in your healthy sweetener of choice.
  5. Serve: Once the pudding has reached your desired consistency, turn off the heat. It will thicken more as it cools. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with chopped nuts.
