Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice (preferably short grain or medium grain)
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, to remove excess starch, then drain.
  2. Simmer Rice in Coconut Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and cook until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, about 25-30 minutes.
  3. Sweeten the Pudding: Stir in the sugar and a pinch of salt, if using. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavor.
  5. Serve: Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled based on your preference. Optionally, garnish with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Using short or medium grain rice helps achieve a creamier texture.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste or substitute with natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.
  • Stir frequently during cooking to avoid sticking and burning.
  • For a thicker pudding, cook a bit longer to absorb more liquid; for thinner, add a little extra coconut milk.
  • This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
