    yum sounds delicious. I’m planning to make some rice pudding this week. This would be a good version to make.

    btw thanx for stopping by my blog =)

  2. This DOES sound delicious … love the tropical flavorings in winter!

  3. Well… you could have knocked me over with a feather I was so pleasantly shocked by the delicious sound of that recipe.I can’t wait to try it out! I love coconut and limes 🙂

  4. amazing! One of my favorite rice pudding recipes, I make it all the time. I thought at first that using basmati rice for a pudding was sort of funny, but it comes out *so* well and very smooth.

  5. Deliciously simple! I was afraid to add the whole amount of milk as I like my rice pudding thick, but I trusted you and I was right to! It thickened up really nicely. I was very generous on the lime zest and next time, I'll cut down on the sugar. It's a wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing it!
