Creamy Coconut Brown Rice Pudding

Rice pudding is a practically universal dish that is typically made from a mixture of cooked rice and milk or cream (and it often has plenty of sugar!). So many countries have their own versions of rice pudding, incorporating a wide range of flavors and sweet and savory ingredients. You can find versions of rice puddings in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean… the list goes on!

Coconut milk helps the pudding develop a luscious, creamy texture without needing dairy. When feeling indulgent, use a full-fat coconut milk; and when wanting to keep things a bit lighter, opt for a can of light coconut milk. Speaking of canned coconut milk, the cans of light coconut milk are actually just more watered-down counterparts of the full-fat cans (for the same price!). If you’re on a budget, I suggest buying a full-fat can and using a bit of water to thin it out. You can save any leftovers in another dish. Since coconut milk can be quite heavy, this recipe uses a mix of canned coconut milk and almond milk to get the balance just right.

Another healthy twist comes from using whole-grain brown rice instead of white (hello, fiber!).

This recipe yields a generous six servings. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy them warm or cold. After sitting overnight, the rice pudding will thicken. You can stir in an extra splash of almond milk if you’d like to thin it out. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and enjoy!

Add a little spice to your Creamy Coconut Brown Rice Pudding by adding a whole cinnamon stick or a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the pot as it cooks. Try serving it with sliced mango or fresh berries.
