three glass jars with millet rice pudding

Warm Millet Rice Pudding with Glazed Apricots and Toasted Pine Nuts

This delicious treat is derived from the Classic Greek Rice pudding traditionally made with whole cow's milk. This pudding is its healthier non-dairy cousin! The ancient grain of millet is usedinstead of rice and coconut milk instead of cow's milk. The warm and creamytexture paired with the sweet honey glazed apricots and the toasted pine nuts is sensational!
