In Ayurveda, food is more than just nourishment—it’s a way to bring balance to the body and mind. Kheer, a comforting blend of creamy rice, warm spices, and natural sweetness, embodies this perfectly. Not only does it satisfy your sweet cravings, but it also supports digestion, hydrates your skin, and provides a sense of grounding after a festive meal.

So why is it a must for Easter? This season is all about renewal, and what better way to embrace it than with a dish that nurtures both body and soul? The warming spices in Kheer, like cardamom and cinnamon, awaken the senses, while the cooling qualities of milk and saffron bring a sense of calm. It’s the perfect balance—just like Ayurveda teaches. Plus, let’s be honest: no celebration is complete without a little sweetness! Are you ready to bring this Ayurvedic delight to your Easter table? Let’s dive into the recipe!

Each ingredient in this Ayurvedic Rice Pudding isn’t just there for flavor—it’s chosen with intention. From the lightness of basmati rice to the nourishing touch of saffron, every element brings balance, grounding energy, and skin-loving benefits. This isn’t just dessert; it’s a sweet, soothing treat that provides deep nourishment. Here’s a list of the simple yet nutrient-dense ingredients that make this rice pudding so special:

1. Toast the Rice: In a pot, heat 1 teaspoon of ghee over low-medium heat. Add the rinsed basmati rice and lightly toast it for about 1-2 minutes until you start to smell its fragrant aroma.

2. Add the Milk: Pour in your choice of almond or oat milk (or cow’s milk, if you tolerate it). Stir occasionally and bring to a gentle simmer.

3. Add the Flavors: Once the milk is simmering, stir in the chopped dates (or raisins), cardamom powder, cinnamon, saffron (if using), and shredded coconut. Continue to cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice becomes soft and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.

4. Sweeten & Cool: After cooking, remove the pudding from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in your honey or maple syrup—avoid heating the honey, as it loses its benefits when warmed.

5. Garnish & Serve: Finally, garnish your kheer with chopped almonds or pistachios for a little crunch. Serve it warm, and enjoy the soothing goodness!

This Easter dessert isn’t just about indulging your sweet tooth—it’s a celebration of nourishment, balance, and Ayurvedic wisdom. Every spoonful of this creamy rice pudding delivers more than just flavor; it provides your body with essential nutrients and enhances your skin’s natural glow.
