Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked white rice (jasmine rice recommended)
- 4 cups (1 quart) original flavor coconut milk beverage
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Zest and juice from 1/4 of a lime
- 1 mango, seeded, peeled, and diced
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked rice, coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Simmer and thicken: Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally every few minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. Continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency.
- Add lime flavor: Stir in the zest and juice from 1/4 of a lime to enhance the tropical flavors and add a subtle citrus brightness.
- Chill the pudding: Divide the pudding evenly between 4 to 6 small glass jars or bowls. Cover each container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the pudding to set and flavors to meld.
- Add mango topping: Just before serving, top each chilled pudding with freshly diced mango for a juicy, sweet contrast.
Notes
- Jasmine rice works best for its fragrant aroma, but any white rice will do.
- Stir frequently while simmering to avoid the pudding sticking to the pan and burning.
- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the sugar to taste.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk beverage.
- This pudding keeps well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
