Vegan, Lactose Free and Gluten Free Ryzogalo (rice pudding)
Τhis vegan Ryzogalo (Greek rice pudding) is creamy, aromatic and so delicious that it competes with the original classic "ryzogalo", which is amazing!
We all love the rich "ryzogalo" our mum used to make but there are many people who are lactose or gluten intolerant and of course there are many people who follow a vegan diet, or during Lent when we fast, so this one is suitable for all the above.
I made this Ryzogalo when some friends visited us during Lent. My friend is sensitive to gluten, so I used rice flour to thicken it.
You may think that corn flour (starch) is gluten free but, if you are aiming to avoid wheat, then check on the package that it is labelled "gluten-free" as many brands add wheat flour as well.
I flavoured it with citrus blossom water and served it with ground cinnamon on top.
