Not Your Mother’s Rice Pudding
- 3/4 C white rice
- 1-1/2 C water
- 2 C coconut milk (Unsweetened)
- 1/3 C (or less) Muscovado brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg beaten
- 2/3 C golden raisins
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Cook rice until tender. Add 1-1/2 C coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt. Continue cooking over medium heat until thick and creamy. Remove from stove. Stir in remaining coconut milk. Temper egg and add to pudding mixture stirring constantly. Stir in butter and vanilla until combined.
The secret to this recipe is the coconut milk and the Muscovado brown sugar. Muscovado brown sugar is less refined than normal brown sugar and has more molasses in it. Along with the coconut milk, It adds a unique flavor to the pudding. These two ingredients arguably make this recipe healthier than your mother’s rice pudding.
