How do I achieve a smooth texture for this atole?

To get a smooth and creamy texture, you'll blend about half to three-quarters of the cooked rice with some of the liquid from the pot until it's completely smooth before returning it to the pot with the remaining rice, soy milk, and sugar.

How should I store leftover Atole de Arroz?

Since Atole de Arroz is best served warm, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, stirring frequently, and add a splash of soy milk if it has thickened too much.

How to Prepare Atole de Arroz [Vegan]

In a large pot, combine the water and cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer with the lid on for a few minutes. In the meantime, rinse your rice until the water runs clear.
Add the rice to the pot of water and bring the mixture to a low boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer with the lid on for 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has mostly absorbed.
Remove ½ - ¾ of the rice (depending on your preferences) and add it to a blender. Add the soy milk and sugar to the pot with the rest of the rice.
Ladle some liquid out to help mix the rice in the blender. Combine until smooth, then transfer the mixture back to the pot.
Simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste and adjust the sugar to your preferred sweetness.
Serve your atole de arroz while warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon or berries on top. Serve on its own or with your favorite pastry. Happy drinking!
