How to Make Creamy Low Fat Coconut Rice Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, and 2 cups low-fat milk until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 7-8 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs lightly. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs.
  4. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Whisk constantly until the pudding thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Stir in 1 cup cooked rice (medium grain white rice, Arborio rice, or brown rice), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. Gently stir, and spoon the pudding into individual dessert dishes. Serve warm or chill for later. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
