Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice, 1 cup coconut milk, and 1 cup of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the remaining 0.5 cup of coconut milk, sweetener (stevia or erythritol), vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix well and cook for an additional 10 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking.
Turn off the heat, and add the chia seeds and grated coconut. Stir well to combine.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools due to the chia seeds.
Serve warm or chilled, garnishing with berries if desired. Enjoy your nutritious low-carb black rice pudding!
