Perfect for those who love tropical tastes or want a vegan twist on a classic, this pudding is sweet, rich, and easy to customize.


🥥 Ingredients

  • 1 cup short-grain white rice (like Arborio or sushi rice)

  • 2½ cups water

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or brown sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Optional: ground cinnamon, shredded coconut, lime zest, raisins


🍚 Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice:
    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is mostly absorbed (about 12–15 minutes).

  2. Add Coconut Milk:
    Stir in the coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Simmer uncovered on low heat for another 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.

  3. Customize & Serve:
    Add cinnamon, lime zest, or raisins if desired. Serve warm or chilled. Sprinkle with shredded coconut or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.


✅ Tips for the Creamiest Texture

  • Stir frequently to avoid sticking

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor

  • Let the pudding thicken slightly after removing from heat

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days — it gets even creamier!


Conclusion
This creamy coconut milk rice pudding is a comforting dessert that feels indulgent yet wholesome. Whether served warm on a cool evening or cold on a summer day, it’s a versatile treat everyone can enjoy – vegan, dairy-free, and full of tropical flair.
