How to Make Toasted Coconut Rice Pudding

  1. Rinse 1 cup of Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 3 cups of coconut milk, 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and the zest of 1 lime.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the rice is simmering, toast 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, stir in 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of dark rum (optional).
  6. Gently fold in the toasted coconut.
  7. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra toasted coconut and a lime wedge, if desired.
