Living in Maryland, we don\u2019t get a lot of freezing cold days, but we still get some pretty cold temperatures. The other day when the temperature dipped down to the upper 20s, I had a craving for a warm, spicy kind of dessert. \u00a0For some reason, rice pudding came to mind. \u00a0I\u2019ve never been a fan of rice pudding, but I felt like giving it another chance. \u00a0Using coconut milk and a few different spices really helped turn my mind around on!<\/p>\n

Making this dessert couldn\u2019t be easier. You start by combining three different kinds of milk: coconut milk, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk (yum). \u00a0You add that to rice and sprinkle in a touch of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. \u00a0Twenty minutes later, you have creamy, comforting rice pudding.<\/p>\n

You can serve it warm (my preference) or cold, topped with sweetened condensed milk and garnished with toasted coconut or dried fruit.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping you\u2019re cozy and warm, wherever you are!<\/p>\n

Coconut Rice Pudding<\/span><\/h3>\n

Serves 6-8<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 cup short-grain rice<\/li>\n
  • 2 x 13.5 oz. cans coconut milk<\/li>\n
  • 12 oz. can evaporated milk<\/li>\n
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk, divided<\/li>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • In a large pot, combine the rice, coconut milk, evaporated milk, half of the sweetened condensed milk (reserve the rest for later), and the spices.<\/li>\n
    • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.<\/li>\n
    • Immediately after it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook the pudding, stirring every few minutes until the rice is soft, about 20-25 minutes.<\/li>\n
    • If serving warm: drizzle with the reserved sweetened condensed milk,\u00a0garnish with toasted coconut or dried fruit, and serve immediately.<\/li>\n
    • If serving cold: cover the rice pudding directly over the surface with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. \u00a0Drizzle with the reserved sweetened condensed milk, garnish with toasted coconut or dried fruit, and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
