Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 5 pods Cardamom pods (crushed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Fresh ripe mangoes (peeled and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, whole milk, and water. Stir well.
Add the crushed cardamom pods, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened into a creamy pudding consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice pudding rest for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the cardamom pods.
While the pudding cools slightly, prepare the mangoes by peeling and slicing them into thin, even pieces.
Divide the warm rice pudding into serving bowls and arrange the mango slices decoratively on top of each bowl.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the mangoes for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately for a warm dessert or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for a cool treat. Enjoy!
