Best Toasted Coconut Rice Pudding Recipes

TOASTED COCONUT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• To toast coconut: Heat a clean, dry frying pan over medium-high heat, add desiccated coconut and cook, shaking pan constantly, until coconut is golden. (Make a little more toasted coconut than is called for in the recipe so that you can sprinkle some over top at serving time.).
• Bring water, freshly-grated ginger, lime peel, salt and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, return to the boil, and then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, so the mixture cooks at a simmer. Cook until rice has absorbed most of the water, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the lime peel and discard.
• Scald the 1 cup evaporated milk and honey in the microwave.
• Add the hot milk, honey, toasted coconut and chopped raisins, if using, to the rice mixture. Cook at a bare simmer a further 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and vanilla extracts.
• Transfer pudding to a large bowl, place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface and cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator until cool and set. Just before serving, 'loosen' rice pudding by beating in the reserved 1/2 cup evaporated milk with a fork.
• Serve with your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Bring rice, 1/2 cup of the milk, water and salt to a boil then turn down to low and cover tightly with foil. Cook until all the moisture is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let sit turned off with foil still on for 5 more minutes. In a small bowl soak the powdered gelatin with the 2 tablespoons of water. In a saucepan bring the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk to a boil with the vanilla bean. Let sit 15 minutes to infuse. Whisk the yolks with the sugar then temper with the hot milk mixture. Return to the heat and cook gently to thicken. Meanwhile, sponge the gelatin in cold water. Remove thickened anglaise from the heat and add the sponged gelatin. Stir to melt the gelatin then strain into a bowl and stir in the rice. Place over ice water and stir to cool and thicken. As it starts to thicken but before it's too set, fold in the whipped cream and toasted coconut and pour into small dishes. Chill.
