How to Make Riced Cauliflower

Let’s start with how to actually make riced cauliflower. There are a few different ways you can make it. I use my food processor to make a big batch of riced cauliflower every Sunday, that way I’m always minutes away from quick and healthy weeknight dinners! It’s a great item for food prep because it keeps well and it can be used in so many ways.

1. In a food processor. Simply toss chunks of cauliflower into a food processor and pulse until it’s forms a rice texture. This is my preferred method and it works like a charm, only taking a few seconds to create cauliflower rice.
2. Grate by hand. I don’t really like the texture you get from grating cauliflower by hand, plus it takes a while however, if you’re in a pinch, it will do the trick.

Cauliflower Rice Pudding Variations

The “recipe” below is a rough guideline for cauliflower rice pudding. You can’t really mess this up. Lightly simmer riced cauliflower with almond milk and sweetener until you reach your desired consistency. The cauliflower should be tender but still a little chewy and sweet enough that it doesn’t taste like cauliflower.

Here are a few ingredient swaps you can try to make it your own!

Ingredient Options

• Milk Options: coconut, almond or cashew are all delicious
• Spices: try ground ginger, nutmeg or cinnamon
• Sweeteners: maple syrup, agave, liquid or powder stevia, brown sugar
• Flavouring: pure vanilla or almond extract, nut butters, cocoa powder
• Add-ins or toppings: raisins, hemp seeds, chia seeds, oats, protein powder, nuts, sliced banana, berries, chocolate chips, shredded coconut

I went for a cinnamon raisin version with vanilla protein powder and a few drops of stevia to sweeten it. I love simmering it with the raisins thrown in so they get nice and plump.

I’ve also done one made with almond milk, vanilla extract and a few tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut added in. I topped both with sliced banana.
