If you love traditional Spanish rice pudding, you're going to adore this healthy rice pudding ice cream. The most curious thing about this recipe is that it's made without rice: we get that signature comforting flavour and texture thanks to whole oats gently infused with cinnamon and lemon peel.

It's super easy, wonderfully refreshing, and perfect to keep in the freezer whenever you fancy something sweet yet light. You only need a handful of pantry staples to make it at home.

Prep: 45 minCook: 5 minServes: 4

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need for this recipe

  • 80g whole rolled oats
  • 1 glass of unsweetened soy milk
  • Cinnamon stick
  • Lemon peel
  • 200g 0% fat whipped fresh cheese (queso fresco batido or quark)
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Sweetener (optional)

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Heat the plant milk in a saucepan with the cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and rolled oats.
  2. 2As soon as it comes to a boil, take it off the heat and stir in some ground cinnamon.
  3. 3Let it rest until it cools completely.
  4. 4Once cool, discard the cinnamon stick and lemon peel, then transfer the mixture to a blender together with the whipped fresh cheese and blend until smooth.
  5. 5Pour into an ice cream maker for 30 minutes, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze, stirring every 45 minutes to keep ice crystals from forming.
  6. 6Once it reaches a lovely ice cream texture, it's ready (you can also leave it in the freezer overnight and take it out about 20 minutes before serving so it scoops easily).
  7. 7All done! Our healthy rice pudding ice cream is ready to serve.
