The Best Gluten Free Halloween Pumpkin Rice Pudding Recipe.

Intro
Happy Halloween! As the spookiest time of the year approaches, it felt right to share my The Best Gluten Free Halloween Pumpkin Rice Pudding Recipe.
Rice pudding is one of those classic, retro favourites that is really making a comeback. I thought that I would add my own twist to this treat by making my recipe Halloween-themed. If you can’t make desserts with silly faces near Halloween, when can you? Plus who doesn’t love a bit of pumpkin in autumn?
As ever, this recipe is 100% gluten-free like all of the other content on the blog. This particular recipe is vegetarian and nut-free.
This recipe makes 12 servings of mini Halloween recipe puddings.
Enjoy! 🎃🕷️🎃🕷️

Tips and Tricks
- Personally, I like the lightness of caster sugar. It is also my go-to sugar to use for recipes, so that is why I used caster sugar in this recipe in particular. However, it is important to note that you should use the sugar that you want/ have available. If you are sugar-free, you can use an artificial sweetener or a natural sweetener like honey.
- In order to make gluten free mini Halloween rice puddings, I use brown rice. Like with the caster sugar situation, it is my default. If you know that another type of rice works better for you, then please use that type instead. White rice tends to be sweeter than brown rice, so maybe reduce the amount of extra sugar that you add if you decide to go ahead and use white rice.
- If anything looks like it is going to burn, please turn the heat down! I recommend using a medium heat after the rice has boiled to prevent this from happening.
- Feel free to use any type of (preferably Halloween) mould that you have available. Ideally, as this is a themed recipe, it is fun to use Halloween moulds. Whether the moulds have ghost shapes or bat shapes or pumpkin shapes, it still gives your treats whose Halloween vibes that we are going for. I like to use silicione moulds and BPA free moulds, but it is really up to you.
What to make these rice puddings vegan?
This recipe can be modified to become completely vegan if you substitute the butter for a vegan equivalent fat e.g. coconut butter. Personally, as I am not vegan, I like to make the vegetarian version, but please adjust the ingredients for your own unique dietary needs and values.
Storage
- These mini Halloween rice puddings can potentially last up to a week, if stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
- Additionally, this is just guidance. So, if it looks a bit dodgy, you don’t like the look of it or if it has been out for a while, then unfortunately, I think that is one for the bin. When it comes to cooking and baking a bit of common sense will go a long way. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Additionally, when storing always use an air-tight container, otherwise these times do not apply.
