It is luscious, creamy and healthy, all thanks to the black rice used to make it. However, adding sugar to this dessert may balance out the benefits that you receive. To make this recipe even more healthy, we have replaced sugar with Sugar Free Green, which offers natural sweetness to the dessert and helps people avoid the unwanted calories. Moreover, this is a perfect recipe for those looking for vegan options as it uses almond milk instead of cow’s milk.

About Black Rice Kheer

  • This Assamese and Manipuri dessert is also known Chak Hao Kheer. It is made just like the rice kheer but instead of white rice it uses black rice, native to the North-east India. This dessert is made with rice, milk and nuts and offers an earthy flavour and creamy texture. It is specially made on festive occasions.
  • However, it’s not just a celebratory dessert, but also possesses ample health benefits. The black rice has powerful antioxidants which give it the black colour, vitamin E, protein, and fibre which benefit people in good health.
