Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toasted coconut flakes, for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine rice, water, 1 cup of the coconut milk, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
  2. Stir in remaining coconut milk and simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
  3. Stir in sugar and vanilla, cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  4. Spoon into bowls, top with toasted coconut flakes, and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

If you like a looser pudding, add a splash of extra coconut milk when serving. The pudding thickens considerably as it cools.
