Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Fresh mango, diced
- 0.25 cup Toasted shredded coconut
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in the unsweetened coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for another 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls, topping each with diced mango and a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
