Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups coconut milk (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup sugar or preferred sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional

  • Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse and Cook the Rice: Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of coconut milk and 1 cup of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture becomes creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Sweeten and Flavor: Once the rice is creamy, stir in 1/3 cup sugar (or preferred sweetener), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to dissolve the sugar completely and continue cooking on low heat for another 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  3. Prepare the Mango: While the pudding simmers, peel and dice two ripe mangoes into bite-sized cubes. Fresh mango adds natural sweetness and vibrant color to the pudding.
  4. Combine and Chill or Serve Warm: Turn off the heat and gently fold most of the diced mango into the rice pudding, reserving some for garnish. Serve the pudding warm or let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for a chilled dessert. Both serving options highlight different delicious textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly to prevent clumping and achieve a smooth pudding texture.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest result.
  • Stir frequently while cooking to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste, starting with less and adding more as desired.
  • Use ripe, fragrant mangoes for the juiciest pudding.
  • Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for extra crunch and coconut aroma.
  • If pudding becomes too thick, stir in a little extra coconut milk or warm water to loosen the texture.
