Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Coconut milk
- 1 can (13.5 oz)
- Water
- 2 cups
- White rice
- 1 cup, rinsed
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Raisins
- 1/2 cup
- Shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, rinsed rice, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer gently for 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Stir in the raisins and shredded coconut, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Remove from heat and let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow it to thicken slightly as it rests.
- Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional shredded coconut for an extra touch of tropical flavor.
