Fakorygalo

Fakorygalo is a delightful vegan Greek dessert made from rice, almond milk, and a hint of citrus, creating a creamy and refreshing treat. Topped with cinnamon and crushed nuts, it offers a satisfying finish to any meal.

Ingredients

• Arborio rice - 100 grams
• Almond milk - 500 ml
• Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Chopped walnuts - 30 grams (for topping)
• Ground cinnamon - for garnish

Steps

1. Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, almond milk, maple syrup, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

6. Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls and let it cool slightly.
7. Top each serving with chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving.
