Coconut Rice Pudding iddsi level5 Minced and moist

Rice pudding is a dish made of rice mixed with water or milk to make a more glutinous, porridge-like consistency. It can be sweet or savoury (although more often sweet) and served hot or cold.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (600ml) coconut milk
• 1/3 cup (66g) of uncooked short grain rice
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 egg, lightly whisked
• 1 tsp vanilla essence or other flavouring
• 2 tbs brown sugar (or alternative sweeteners such as honey)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Toppings such as raisins or berries (optional)

Method

1. In a saucepan, bring the milk, rice and salt to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, while stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender.
2. Whisk the egg and sugar in a bowl. Add the rice mixture little by little, whisking well between additions.
3. Add the mixture back into the saucepan and stir over low heat until thickened.
4. Remove from the heat and add vanilla and cinnamon. Add in raisins or other additions such as berries (optional).
5. Serve hot or cold

Notes on consistency

• The pudding will thicken once cooled, after refrigeration it will become much thicker
• To create a thinner mixture, add more milk/liquid
• To create a softer mixture, boil the rice for longer
• If adding toppings, the pudding is no longer appropriate as IDDSI level 5
