How to Make Baked Coconut Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 2 cups coconut milk, 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 lime.
  3. Pour the rice mixture into a lightly greased 4-liter shallow ovenproof dish. Dot the surface with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the lime zest from the pudding.
  6. Stir the pudding well. Add a pinch of ground star anise (optional). Return to the oven and bake for 1-2 hours, or until almost all the milk is absorbed and a golden brown skin forms on top. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled with fresh or stewed fruit.
