Ingredients:
1/3 cup white basmati rice
14 oz can coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lime zest*
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 lime, quartered (optional)
Directions:
In a small bowl soak rice in about 2/3 cup of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain rice. In a medium sized saucepan bring coconut milk, milk, rice, sugar, and salt to a boil, Reduce heat to low and simmer, for about 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. It should have cooked down to a thick, creamy texture. Remove from heat and stir in lime zest. Serve with lime wedges. Delicious warm or chilled.

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 =)
This DOES sound delicious … love the tropical flavorings in winter!
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 🙂
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.
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!
