How to Make Tropical Rice Pudding
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup currants and 2 tablespoons of rum. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups cooked rice, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently.
- Stir in the soaked currants and continue to simmer for 40 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup diced mango and 1/2 cup diced papaya.
- Divide the rice pudding into individual serving cups or bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining diced mango and papaya, and sprinkle generously with toasted coconut flakes.
