Hannah Kaminsky, My Sweet Vegan - By now, I would have to hope that most of you have already done away with your Christmas leftovers, be it by eating them just as they were in their former glory, re-incarnating them into a whole new dish, or discovering them just a few days late, and allowing the trash bin to polish them off instead. However, perhaps there’s still just a few of those half-eaten goodies tucked away that you can’t bear to toss. Or, maybe - even if you never had these main ingredients in the first place, you might feel the need to stock up anyways just to make this sweet treat:

Rice pudding. But not just any rice pudding. Oh no, this is one special holiday-infused delight, made of the two primary foods that remind me of Christmas: “eggnog” and Chinese food takeout, or white rice to be exact. Hell, even if you forgot to stock up on vegan eggnog this year, you could always make your own… Think that’s a bit too much work just for some rice pudding? Just wait until you taste it, and then you’d be willing to go through any lengths to make another batch. Creamy, sweet, and a just touch spicy, a bowlful is like experiencing Christmas day all over again, whenever you want.

Who knew some leftover holiday foods could become something so incredible?
