Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for topping
• Mint leaves for garnish

How to Make Mango Coconut Rice Pudding

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the pudding from becoming too sticky.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has thickened.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the mango puree and vanilla extract. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve warm or chilled in individual bowls. Top with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

Tips for the Best Results

• For an extra creamy texture, let the pudding sit for a few minutes before serving to thicken.
• Use fresh, ripe mango for the best flavor; if using canned, ensure it’s pure without added sugars.
• Don’t skip rinsing the rice; it makes a noticeable difference in texture.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your preference.

Easy Variations

• Substitute coconut milk with almond or oat milk for a different flavor profile.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice twist.
• Mix in toasted coconut flakes for added texture.
• Use other fruit purees like passion fruit or pineapple for a tropical medley.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream for extra indulgence.
• Grilled pineapple or mango slices for an added tropical touch.
• A sprinkle of chopped nuts for crunch.
• A drizzle of honey or agave syrup for additional sweetness.
