Recipe

Ingredients

400mL coconut milk
¾ cup Arborio rice
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch salt
1–2 tbsp raw sugar or maple syrup
1 mango, diced
¼ cup shredded coconut

Method

Combine coconut milk and rice in small saucepan and cook over medium heat. Gently bring to boil, stirring frequently, then reduce to simmer.
Add vanilla essence, salt and sugar or maple syrup and continue to cook gently for 30 mins. Stir well to prevent rice sticking to pan. Add water if mixture gets too dry.
The pudding is ready when rice has creamy consistency and all water has been absorbed.
Remove from heat and allow to cool, then chill in fridge until set.
Top with mango and toasted coconut flakes.
