GOLDEN "RICE" PUDDING (paleo, keto)

I absolutely love this “rice” pudding recipe.  Not only does it taste amazing, but it’s grain-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, low-carb, and suitable for paleo and keto diets.  Better still, it’s super easy to make and packed with micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) as well as fibre, healthy fats, and protein!  Gotta love a simple dessert that's healthy enough to serve for brekkie!
