COLOMBIAN COCONUT RICE PUDDING



Colombian Coconut Rice Pudding image

This is a very good rice pudding recipe that I got from a box of Carolina White Rice. I usually add the flake coconut as my optional ingredient, but it is also terrific with diced mango. It does not work well with skim milk or 1% milk, but is ok with anything 2% or more.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup carolina white rice (or any other brand of long grain white rice)
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package instant pudding mix, I use Vanilla or 1 (1 3/4 ounce) package coconut cream
2 cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
1/2 cup flaked coconut, chopped pistachios, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate chips, fun chips (optional) or 1/2 cup diced fresh fruit (optional)

Tips:

  • Use medium-grain rice. This type of rice is the most commonly used in Colombian rice dishes. It has a slightly chewy texture and holds its shape well.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch from the rice, which will prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Cook the rice in a flavorful liquid. This could be water, broth, or even coconut milk. The liquid will add flavor and moisture to the rice.
  • Add aromatics to the rice. This could include onions, garlic, peppers, or herbs. The aromatics will add flavor and depth to the rice.
  • Season the rice to taste. This could include salt, pepper, cumin, or other spices. The seasoning will help to bring out the flavors of the rice and the other ingredients.
  • Serve the rice with your favorite Colombian dishes. Some popular options include beans, meat, chicken, or fish. You can also serve the rice with vegetables or a salad.
