Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup short-grain or medium-grain rice
  • 2 cups water (for cooking rice)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated or brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook the rice in 2 cups of water until tender but still slightly firm, as it will continue cooking in later steps.
  2. Combine coconut milk and sugar: In a saucepan, mix the canned coconut milk with sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat gently while stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely, ensuring the mixture does not scorch.
  3. Cook the rice in coconut milk: Add the cooked rice to the coconut milk mixture. Simmer over low heat and stir regularly to blend flavors and thicken the pudding for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in vanilla and mango: Remove the pudding from heat and gently fold in the vanilla extract and diced ripe mango pieces to keep the mango fresh and vibrant within the pudding.
  5. Chill or serve warm: For a refreshing dessert, refrigerate the pudding in bowls for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, serve warm for a comforting treat perfect for cooler evenings.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess.
  • Choose ripe mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure and smell sweet for best flavor.
  • Simmer the pudding slowly on low heat to allow perfect creaminess.
  • Add sugar gradually and taste as you go to avoid overpowering the mango sweetness.
  • Stir frequently while cooking to prevent lumpiness and sticking.
