Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the rice absorbs most of the water and becomes tender.
Once the rice is cooked, add the coconut milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, to prevent sticking or burning. Let it simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice. If desired, fold in the shredded coconut for extra texture.
Allow the rice pudding to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve the pudding warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference. Optionally, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
Garnish with additional lime zest or toasted coconut flakes, if desired, and serve!
