  • Question
    A few questions: 1.) Can I substitute stevia for the Splenda or sugar? 2.) Can I substitute almond or coconut milk for the whole milk? 3.) How long do I let it boil before turning it off to let it stand for 12-15 minutes?

    1.) Yes. As long as it works as a sweetener, it will work, but it comes out best with natural white sugar. 2.) Yes to almond milk, but no to coconut. The coconut won't combine with the rice when cooking. 3.) 15 minutes. But if you really want some good pudding, stir the rice for the 15 minutes while it is boiling. This will bring the flavor of the cinnamon/nutmeg to the rice, and you will be able to taste the difference.

    No, regular milk is best in this recipe. Sweetened condensed milk would be much too sweet and thick.
