Run cold water over it. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. This step helps remove excess starch. It prevents the rice from getting too sticky. After rinsing, let the rice drain for a few minutes. This ensures you have just the right amount of moisture. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with coconut milk and whole milk. Add the sugar and salt to the mix. Stir well to combine everything. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once it starts simmering, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it cook. Stir occasionally for about 20-25 minutes. Check if the rice is tender and the mix thickens. When it’s done cooking, take it off the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Let it sit, covered, for an extra 5 minutes. Now, it’s time to serve your coconut rice pudding. You can enjoy it warm or chilled. Scoop some pudding into bowls. Top it with toasted shredded coconut. Add fresh mango slices or berries on top for a burst of color. This makes it look beautiful and tasty.

This step helps it thicken nicely. You can add extra flavors to make this dish special. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for warmth. You could also mix in some lime zest for a fresh twist. If you like a sweeter taste, add more sugar. You can also use different toppings. Fresh mango slices or berries brighten the dish. Toasted coconut on top adds a nice crunch. Serving is all about looks! Use clear bowls to show off the layers. Top with a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Add some colorful fruit on the side. For a fun touch, drizzle honey or maple syrup.

Just chop fresh or canned pineapple into small pieces. Stir these in during the last few minutes of cooking. This gives a sweet and tangy twist that brightens the dish. The pineapple pairs well with the creamy coconut. You can even top your pudding with more pineapple for a tropical feel. If you want a vegan version, simply swap the whole milk for another plant-based milk. Almond or oat milk works great. You still use coconut milk for that rich flavor. To sweeten, you can use maple syrup or agave instead of sugar. This way, you get a dairy-free treat that’s just as tasty. For a fun twist, try adding chocolate or matcha. To add chocolate, melt some dark chocolate and stir it in while the pudding cooks. This makes a rich, chocolatey dessert. If matcha is your thing, mix in a teaspoon of matcha powder for a vibrant green color and earthy flavor. Both options give a unique touch to your coconut rice pudding.
