Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures a cleaner pudding texture.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice, coconut milk, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has mostly absorbed.
Stir the rice occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the rice is cooked, add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and date paste to the saucepan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove from heat and allow the pudding to cool slightly. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Spoon the black rice pudding into bowls and top each serving with fresh diced mango.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Whole30 Black Rice Pudding!
