Description

This coconut rice pudding made with coconut milk and coconut extract for extra coconut flavor. Try topping with toasted shredded coconut.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup white rice
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon extra-virgin coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1 wedge fresh pineapple

Directions

1 Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
2 Combine rice, coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a pot; cook and stir until thickened and creamy, about 20 minutes.
3 Beat milk and egg together in a bowl. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons rice mixture into milk mixture and beat to warm and temper milk mixture. Slowly pour milk mixture into rice mixture while constantly beating; cook, stirring constantly, until pudding is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
4 Remove pot from heat and stir coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut extract into pudding; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Garnish pudding with pineapple wedge, if desired.
