Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cinnamon sticks - 3-4" each
  • 3 star anise
  • 8 cloves
  • 4-5 thin slice fresh ginger
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 ½ cups spice infused water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk - see notes
  • 1 cup non-dairy coconut milk - see notes
  • 2 eggs - beaten
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup dried cranberries - dried cherries, or raisins
  • non-dairy whipped cream - see notes for garnish
  • cinnamon or fresh grated nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  • Add water, spices, and ginger to a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to a gentle boil. Reduce water to about 1 1/2 cups. If you need to add a bit of water to bring it to 1 1/2 cups, that's fine.
  • Pour spice infused water through a strainer into the IP/pressure cooker. Add arborio rice and salt.
  • Lock lid in place. Set to 3 minutes. Keep in mind the time to pressurize varies. If you start with hot water, it reduces the time.
  • While the rice cooks, whisk together the coconut milk through vanilla together.
  • When the pressure is released, whisk in the coconut milk and eggs mixture.
  • Select sauté setting and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to boil. Turn off pressure cooker. Remove pot from the pressure cooker. Stir in dried fruit.
  • Mixture will thicken as it cools. Allow to cool about 20 minutes to serve warm, or refrigerate and chill.
  • Before serving, garnish as desired.

Notes

Don't confuse coconut milk (in a can) with non-dairy coconut milk (in a carton). You need the coconut flavor from the coconut milk. You can substitute nut milk (or even dairy milk) for the non-dairy coconut milk.
If you're not concerned about dairy, by all means, use real whipped cream! There are some decent non-dairy options, or you can omit.
