Aletria - Portuguese Vermicelli Pudding | mygutfeeling.eu #glutenfree #dairyfree

Aletria has a special place in the Portuguese Christmas dinner table. Much like rice pudding, this vermicelli pudding is a sweet, soothingly soft and creamy treat everybody loves.

My little gift to you this Christmas is a lighter version that is also gluten and dairy free. Merry Xmas, everybody! 🙂

Aletria is made with thin pasta like vermicelli, angel hair or capellini. It has sweet aromatic fresh flavors of cinnamon and lemon. This is one of my favorite Xmas desserts and I am happy to share my sensitivities friendly version with you!

I am also very happy to announce that from now on I will also have all my recipes in Portuguese. You can find them at the end of the posts. It is a natural step after the request of several Portuguese and Brasilian readers. So here it is, guys, receitas em Português 🙂

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat combine the rest of the milk, water, sugar, salt, butter, lemon peel and cinnamon stick and gently stir with a spatula until boiling.

  • Discard the cinnamon stick and lemon peal and bring again to a boil.
