Vegan Rice Pudding with Coconut Milk, Cinnamon, and Raisins

I loved the idea of a Vegan Rice Pudding with Cinnamon and so this is my recipe for this festive season. This pudding has a creamy texture and tastes spicy because of the cinnamon. The raisins also add an additional touch of sweetness and so all round this is a great dessert.

The best part about this Vegan Rice Pudding is that you can make it in advance (in fact, it tastes better when made in advance). If you have vegans or vegetarians for guests, this is the perfect dessert as well. 🙂

I love rice puddings as you can see from the plethora of recipes I have on the blog: Ksheerannam, Paramannam, Atukula Paramannam, Bellam Paramannam, and Riskrem.
