Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black rice
- 3 cups water
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut flakes (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 cup fresh fruits like mango or berries (optional for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in the coconut milk and coconut sugar into the cooked rice.
Increase the heat to medium and cook the mixture uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. The pudding will thicken more as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with coconut flakes and fresh fruit if desired.
