Author Notes: Rice pudding is such a comforting dessert: sweet enough to satisfy any craving, but gentle enough to double as an indulgent breakfast or anytime snack. In this recipe, the classic pairing of coconut milk and vanilla is livened up by the addition of seasonal citrus and ginger. - Gena Hamshaw
Serves 4
- 1 can (13.6 fluid oz.) full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cups orange juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup long grain basmati rice
- 2 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup, to taste
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- Mix the coconut milk, water, orange juice, vanilla extract, salt, and rice in a medium-sized pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a low simmer. Cover the pot, but leave the lid very slightly ajar to let steam escape.
- Simmer the rice for 30 minutes, or until most of the liquid has absorbed. Stir in maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, and zest. Continue cooking till rice is creamy and soft. If necessary, add a little more water or maple syrup.
- Serve warm or cool, dusted with extra cinnamon if desired!

Hello folks! Cinnamon has been added to the ingredients -- it was a glitch, and I apologize profusely for it. Hope it's clear now.

I found this wasn't sweet enough for my liking. Also I needed quite a bit more liquid and cooking time for the rice to cook through - it ended up being less pudding, and more thick mass of rice (which I ended up adding dairy milk to thin it out).

Rice pudding takes me back to childhood - I don't know how many times we had it growing up, certainly not enough. It's one of those dishes thats begins with humble ingredients and blooms into a grounding soul warming meal.
