Ingredients
For the Rice Pudding:
- 1 cup jasmine rice (rinsed)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Mango Topping:
- 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
Recipe Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Rice Pudding
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the rice pudding, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Mango Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the diced mangoes, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and coats the mangoes. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
Divide the prepared rice pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top each portion generously with the mango topping.
If desired, garnish with shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch.
