 ZuckerO Sugar-Free Payasam (Rice Pudding)

This traditional Kerala Payasam is made with ZuckerO sucralose-based sweetener, giving you a creamy, comforting dessert without the sugar.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup short-grain rice (or parboiled rice)
  • 4 cups full-fat milk (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
  • ¼ cup ZuckerO sweetener (adjust based on your sweetener’s conversion chart)
  • 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
  • 10-12 cashews
  • 10-12 raisins
  • 2-3 cardamom pods (or ½ tsp ground cardamom)

Instructions

  1. Wash the rice thoroughly and drain.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the ghee and fry the cashews and raisins until golden brown. Remove them and set aside.
  3. Add the washed rice and roast lightly in the ghee for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the milk to the pot and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking. Let it cook for about 20-30 minutes until the rice is soft.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, add the sweetener (ZuckerO) and stir to dissolve.
  6. Add cardamom and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes until it thickens.
  7. Serve hot or cold, garnished with fried cashews and raisins.
