Puerto Rican Rice Pudding recipe

If you’re looking for a rice pudding that’s got a sweet bite to it, this recipe is for you. Fresh ginger and lemon zest make for a bright dessert pudding that’s fit for any time of year.

Ingredients:

4 cups whole milk
2 cups cooked white rice
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup coconut milk

Directions:

1) Combine milk, rice, sugar, butter, vanilla, zest, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until rice is very soft and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

2) Add coconut milk to rice mixture; simmer until thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
