Notes
• I avoid the watery bit at the base of the can of coconut milk for this recipe because rice pudding should be extra rich and creamy, but if you want to lighten things up a bit you can mix it into the cream for a lighter milk. • Add a little more maple syrup if you like your rice pudding quite sweet, or just pour some on top. * To make this even creamier, you can cook the rice directly in coconut milk instead of using leftovers. Just substitute coconut milk for water, add the spices, and cook as normal, but watch as it has a tendency to boil over.
