coconut rice pudding

Dairy free coconut milk rice pudding, made with leftover rice and sweet vanilla for a not-too-sweet cozy dessert. The ultra creamy base is a perfect backdrop for seasonal fruit toppings.

Coconut Milk Rice Pudding

cooked rice*

250 ml canned coconut milk, cream only

maple syrup

ginger (finely grated)

vanilla powder (1 teaspoon extract)

fruit

Add the rice, coconut milk, maple syrup, ginger, and vanilla to a small saucepan. Stir to combine.

Cover and bring to a simmer on low-medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the rice pudding is ready, about half of the coconut milk will be absorbed and it should be creamy but not claggy.

Serve warm, topped with fruit, applesauce, or jam. Leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed container for 2-3 days, but this is best fresh.

Experience the creamy flavors of Cuban-style arroz con leche de coco, a comforting coconut rice pudding that blends coconut milk and rice. Simmered with cinnamon, sugar, and a hint of lemon zest, this family favorite and indulgent treat blends coconut milk with tender long-grain rice.

Coconut Rice Pudding (Arroz Con Leche De Coco)

white rice*

water

lemon

cinnamon

full-fat coconut milk

granulated sugar (or more to taste)

salt

vanilla extract

Toasted coconut flakes cinnamon

In a saucepan, add the rice with water, lemon zest and cinnamon stick. Cook until the rice is soft, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove the cinnamon stick and drain off any excess water. (Most of the water should be absorbed into the rice.) Place saucepan back on the stove.

Add coconut milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to rice and cook over low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally until thick, for about 30-40 minutes.

Remove from heat. Serve, top with coconut flakes, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Enjoy!

Thank you! I made it yesterday and it smelled divine! I am serving it today.

This was amazing! I’d like to make and take this to a holiday party. 

If stored the refrigerator, how far in advance can I make this?
