To get started, we boil the rice and water together. When it starts boiling, we place a lid on the pot and reduce the heat low. We cook the rice until the water has completely absorbed and the rice is soft and fluffy.

This will cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture thickens. The mixture will boil. Stir constantly so it doesn’t stick on the bottom of the pot.

As soon as it starts thickening, your Coconut Rice Pudding is ready. It’s important not to overcook the rice since it will get hard when it cools. Remove it from the fire when it looks thick and bit soupy:

Remove it from the fire and pour it in a bowl. We add the flaked coconut and mix. Let it cool completely and then stick in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours. That’s it! Super easy and delish.

    This is one of the best Coconut rice pudding recipes I’ve tried. For my tasting I added some lemon rind as per the milk rice pudding recipes but the coconut in this recipe just bursts on your mouth. Well done!

      I haven’t tried it in the crock pot and since this requires stirring, I am not sure it would work out

    I followed the directions but there is such an after taste I had to add some cream of coconut and sugar. It was a very funny taste. It’s a shame too I love rice pudding.Ill probably won’t make this again

      Really? I am so sorry that happened. Is there a chance part of the rice burned at the bottom?
