A creamy and fragrant coconut rice pudding that's easy to make and perfect for a comforting dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Main

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice such as Basmati (do not wash or soak)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups canned coconut milk (such as Goya or Arroy-D)
  • 2 cups coconut flakes or shredded coconut (or to taste)
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut flakes (for toasting)

Instructions 

  • Combine rice and water in a medium pot, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 5-15 minutes.
  • Stir in coconut milk, sugar, and shredded coconut. Cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture boils and thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Optional: toast coconut flakes in a dry pan over medium-high heat until golden, about 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve warm or chilled, topping with toasted coconut flakes if desired.

Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
