How to Make Mango Colada Rice Pudding

  1. **Cook the Rice:** In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water and 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender.
  3. **Make the Mango Puree:** Combine 2 cups fresh mango chunks, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. **Prepare the Pudding Base:** In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups coconut milk, making sure there are no lumps.
  6. Stir in the cooked rice.
  7. Gently fold in the mango puree.
  8. **Bake:** Pour the mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes to prevent sticking.
  9. **Rest & Serve:** Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours for a colder serving.
  10. **Garnish:** Garnish with toasted coconut flakes before serving.
  11. **Elegant Presentation (Optional):** Triple the mango puree recipe (using 6 cups mango, 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, and 6 tablespoons lime juice). Do not add it to the pudding. Bake the pudding as directed, adding 1/2 cup extra coconut milk. Cool completely. Layer the chilled pudding and mango puree in tall wine glasses. Serve chilled and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
