Coconut Milk Rice Pudding
A delicious, creamy rice pudding made with coconut milk! Coconut milk is easy to find these days in just about any store. It costs more than regular milk, of course, but it's nice to treat yourself now and then to something made with it. Rice pudding cooked in coconut milk, for example, is a great breakfast during a fast, when dairy is off the table but you're still craving something comforting. Coconut milk is also said to help lower cholesterol, support heart health, and boost the immune system, among other benefits.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather the ingredients for the rice pudding — you only need a few for this simple treat. If you like, vary the flavor with add-ins such as fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, or berries.
-
Step 2:
Short-grain rice is best for a dessert pudding. Rinse it well, changing the water several times until it runs clear. Cover the rice with cold water in a 1:2 ratio. Set the pot over the heat, bring it to a boil, and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then so it doesn't stick to the bottom. The rice should still be slightly firm.
-
Step 3:
Add the sugar — brown sugar is best here if you have it, as it deepens the flavor. Pour in the coconut milk.
-
Step 4:
Cook the pudding over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch and spoil the flavor.
-
Step 5:
If you like, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra aroma and flavor. The pudding should thicken.
-
Step 6:
Turn off the heat and stir in a pat of butter. Cover the pot and let the pudding rest for 15 minutes.
-
Step 7:
Serve the coconut rice pudding warm, with fresh berries, pieces of fresh fruit, or a spoonful of jam if you like. Enjoy!
