Here is a cleanse-approved version of a traditional forbidden coconut rice pudding. A bowl of this sweet treat is loaded with antioxidants, inflammation-reducing and heart-healthy ingredients including cardamom and cinnamon.

What is black (or forbidden) rice? This luxury ingredient is as accessible as a trip to your bulk bin aisle. During the years when China was ruled by an emperor, black rice or “forbidden rice” was cultivated in very small amounts solely for the emperor’s consumption. Add your favorite clean toppings like fresh fruit, sprouted buckwheat, and shredded coconut and treat your body like royalty.

Serves: 4

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients:

1 can full-fat coconut milk

1 1/4 cups milk of choice (almond, hemp, cashew)

¼ cup + 2 tablespoons purple, black, or forbidden rice

1 cinnamon stick

½ teaspoon vanilla powder or extract

½ teaspoon ground cardamon

pinch of sea salt

¼ cup coconut palm sugar

To Garnish:

freshly sliced kiwi

roasted pistachio kernels

toasted coconut flakes

Directions:

Put the coconut milk, milk, rice, spices, salt, and palm sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender but chewy and absorbs most of the liquid, about 1 1/2 hours.
