Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Remove the rice from the heat, fluff it with a fork, and let it cool completely to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Fold the cooled rice into the cream mixture gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Add the pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Pineapple Rice Cream Salad cold, garnished with additional shredded coconut or nuts if desired.
