The best way to make rice pudding without milk is by replacing the milk with a dairy free milk alternative, such as almond milk, coconut milk, and oat milk.

If using almond milk, I recommend either almond cooking milk or an unsweetened barista styled almond milk.

If using oat milk, I recommend a full fat neutral flavored oat milk so you don’t have an oat flavor and so it is really creamy.

Does rice pudding have raisins?

Raisins are often added in rice pudding and you can add them if you want to. Personally, I like it better without raisins or with golden raisins.

For a fall flare, you can also use cranberries instead of raisins.
