Coconut Ginger Rice Pudding with Sticky Roast Pears | Rebel Recipes (2)

I used to hate rice pudding when I was a little girl–served semi warm with a weird skin at my primary school. Definitely not the best way to eat it and it left me believing I didn’t like it at all.

It wasn’t until I tried Thai sticky coconut rice puddings years later that I realised just how gorgeous it can be.

That’s where the inspiration for my coconut ginger rice pudding with sticky roast pears comes from–the coconut cream makes it gorgeously creamy and adding the toasted desiccated coconut added extra nutty coconut flavour–just lovely.

It’s actually great with just the coconut, but adding the sweet diced stem ginger pieces takes it to the next level. But don’t worry if you can’t find the stem ginger in syrup–you can add a little ground ginger.

I topped with some sticky roast pears, which I love, but caramelised apples are also lovely or make a quick warm berry compote.

This makes quite a big batch of rice pudding–perfect for a family dessert, but if you don’t eat it all–allow to cool and store in the fridge to eat cold for breakfast–heaven!

I hope you love this. Niki xx.

FAQs

What kind of rice is best for rice pudding? ›

Rice - I've tried all sorts of rice types and uncooked medium grain is by far the best for rice pudding, followed by risotto rice. Risotto rice (arborio) - needs extra liquid, add 1 cup (250ml) water into the saucepan with milk, and cook for 1 hr 20 minutes.

What happens if you don't rinse rice before cooking? ›

If you want your rice to be starchier or stick together, you can skip that step. In either case, don't rinse it until the water runs fully clear, as you may lose too many nutrients or compromise the fragrance, flavor and end product texture.

What nut is hidden in rice pudding? ›

How do you keep rice pudding from getting watery? ›

To avoid runny pudding, make sure the amount of water does not exceed the amount stated in the serving suggestion, even reduce it slightly from what is specified. For example, the water listed on the package is 500 ml, so Elmer Lovers just add 400 ml of water. This is to keep the pudding from containing too much water.

Why is my rice pudding mushy? ›

I don't recommend any other type of short-grain or quick-cooking rice for rice pudding, as it tends to result in a mushy pudding with this long-simmering recipe. Milk – Whole, full-fat 3.5% b.f. milk is best for rice pudding.

Why is my rice pudding dry? ›

Why is my oven-baked Rice Pudding dry? The baked rice pudding is probably dry because the cooked rice pudding was already too dry. The cooked rice pudding must be creamy, moist, and slightly runny before cooling. While it cools to room temperature, it will soak even more liquid.

Does mahatma rice need to be rinsed? ›
