Kozy’s Creamy Coconut Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 3/4 cup white rice
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1 wedge fresh pineapple (optional)

Directions

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Combine rice, coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a pot; cook and stir until thickened and creamy, about 20 minutes.

Beat milk and egg together in a bowl. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons rice mixture into milk mixture and beat to warm and temper milk mixture. Slowly pour milk mixture into rice mixture while constantly beating; cook, stirring constantly, until pudding is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove pot from heat and stir coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut extract into pudding; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Garnish pudding with pineapple wedge.
