Coconut Rice Pudding
Simmer rice, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Top with toasted coconut flakes for a luscious and comforting coconut rice pudding dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice (or another short-grain rice)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish
Directions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain.
In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, regular milk, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the rice cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.
Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly.
Serve the coconut rice pudding warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
This dessert can be enjoyed on its own or with fresh fruit on top.
