I wanted to use up the left over cooked white rice I had made the night before but not as part of a dinner meal. I didn't have much in the way of dessert making in the pantry so I came up with this. Surprize! My family LOVES it..there are so many ways this can be made with other ingredients. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 large pkg jello instant vanilla or french vanilla pudding
3 c milk
1/2 c raisins
3/4 - 1 c sweetened coconut flakes
3 c rice, cooked, cooled (i used jasmin rice)

Steps:

1. Take one cup of the milk and mix it with the raisins and coconut in a saucepan and bring to a boil, turn off the heat and let stand.
2. mix the remaining 2 cups of milk with the vanilla instant pudding in a bowl, whip it with a wisk and add the rice, mix well
3. Add the remaining cup of milk with the raisins and coconut to the bowl of pudding/rice and mix well with a wire wisk. Cover and refrigerate till serving time. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip.
4. Optional: You can add a half teaspoon of cinnamon or a 1/4 teaspoon of allspice or nutmeg. My family loves it with allspice. Add some pineapple and you have a pina colada dessert! You can also use apple pie filling in lieu of coconut. Other pairings we have enjoyed are lemon pudding with rice and madarines, chocolate pudding with rice, raisins and oreo cookie pieces.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose fresh, long-grain rice, full-fat coconut milk, and plump raisins.
Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the rice. This will help to prevent it from sticking and burning.
Bring the coconut milk to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. This will help to develop the flavor of the coconut milk.
Add the rice and raisins to the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Serve the pudding warm or cold. It can be enjoyed on its own or with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
