Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 0.333 cup maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh mango, diced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the pudding from being too thick.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the rinsed black rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 30 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, in a separate small bowl, mix the coconut milk, unsweetened coconut milk beverage, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
After the rice has absorbed most of the water, add the coconut milk mixture to the saucepan with the rice.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then increase the heat to medium and cook uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
Continue cooking until the mixture is creamy, and the rice is tender. If the pudding becomes too thick, add a little more of the coconut milk beverage to reach the desired consistency.
Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh diced mango if desired.
