First things first, don't skip this post if you think you don't like rice pudding. This is like nothing else you have ever tasted; this is no bland, pulpy, lumpy rice pudding like you got at school, nor is it the over-sweetened, gloopy, filled-with-an-enormous-list-of-alarming-ingredients stuff you might get from a tin. This is not only absolutely delicious, but also dairy free, gluten free, rubbish free, positively good for you, completely and totally delicious, and ridiculously easy to make. Healthy comfort food? - just the thing to tuck into on a cold damp evening after a long day at work.
4oz/100g pudding/risotto rice
160ml coconut cream
800ml coconut milk
2oz/50g creamed coconut
Put the rice in a sieve and rinse under the tap.
Place in a pan with the other ingredients and bring to the boil.
(It looks fatty but don't panic, the fat in coconut is much better for you than other fats!)
Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and the whole lot is thick and creamy.
Sweeten to taste with sugar or honey. Serve with jam, stewed fruit (blackberries go very well at this time of year!) or dried or fresh tropical fruit.
I can't make the recipe any more complicated!
I was going to take tempting and delicious photos of it smothered in various tasty toppings and being spooned about in dollops of mouthwatering creaminess....but it was just too delicious and I was completely distracted by it and then suddenly it was gone! Oops.
