This coconut rice pudding is comfort food in pudding form. Creamy, gently sweet and infused with a rich coconut flavour. Serve warm, straight from the pan topped with chunks of juicy mango.
Place all the ingredients together in a medium sized saucepan, and place on the stove over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil, stirring the ingredients together until the solid coconut has melted.
Now reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the rice for 20-25 minutes, stirring regularly to stop the rice from sticking. The rice pudding is ready when all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.
Remove from the heat and serve the rice in bowls, topped with the diced mango.
Notes
Don't be tempted to wash the rice, this will remove the surface starch and it is this starch that will give you a creamy rice pudding.
This rice pudding is best served warm straight from the pan when it is at its creamiest. If left to sit the rice will continue to absorb moisture and become softer.
Leftover rice pudding can be enjoyed warmed up or cold from the fridge, whichever you prefer.
If you need to loosen the rice pudding just stir through a little extra milk.
