Notes
You need cooked rice for this recipe, so leftovers work perfectly – make extra at night and have rice pudding for breakfast the next day! The best leftover rice to use for rice pudding is short grain or Jasmine rice as it has more starch in it than long grain or Basmati rice, which helps to make it creamier. The addition of coconut milk to this recipe gives it a luscious rich flavour. Serve with fresh, stewed or canned fruit on top.
