Ingredients

2 Tbsp (30mL) whole-grain amaranth

1/3 cup (65g) white basmati rice

4 Tbsp (60mL) maple syrup or honey

1/4 tsp (2g) sea salt

1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground cardamom or 1/2 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg

4 cups (960g) plain lowfat soymilk

1 Tbsp (8g) arrowroot flour or kudzu

1 Tbsp (15mL) vanilla extract

16 ounces (455g) fresh blueberries and raspberries

1 orange, sliced in 8 rounds

Directions

Combine amaranth, rice, maple syrup, salt, and cardamom or nutmeg with 3 3/4 cups (780mL) of soymilk in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to very low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Stir frequently to create a creamy texture.

Raise heat to medium. Combine arrowroot flour with remaining 1/4 cup soymilk, stirring well to dissolve completely. Stir arrowroot mixture into simmering pudding, stirring continuously until pudding has thickened completely, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Layer warm pudding with berries in parfait or other tall, wide-mouth glasses. Garnish with orange slices.
