Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup medium grain rice (short grain can also be used)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 to 1¾ cups water, divided
- 5 tbsp Brazilian Iguaçu River Wildflower Honey (Silvestre variety)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Diced mango
- Mandarin slices
- Freeze-dried raspberries
- Additional cinnamon
- Extra honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the rice, coconut milk, 1 cup of water, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Start Cooking: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a boil, about 10 minutes.
- Simmer and Stir: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the rice pudding for 40 to 50 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Keep warm the remaining ¼ to ¾ cup of water in a separate pot.
- Adjust Consistency: If the pudding becomes too thick or starts to stick, gradually add the reserved warm water ¼ cup at a time until the texture is creamy and the rice is fully cooked and tender.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the rice pudding warm. Top with diced mango, mandarin slices, freeze-dried raspberries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and an extra drizzle of honey, or any toppings you prefer.
Notes
- Use medium or short grain rice for the best creamy texture.
- Stir frequently during cooking to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan.
- Adjust water carefully to get desired creaminess without diluting flavor.
- Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference or seasonal fruits.
- For vegan variation, ensure honey is replaced with a plant-based sweetener.
