Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
- Optional: Fresh berries or mango slices (for serving)
Instructions
- Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In the crockpot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, granulated sugar, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low heat for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- Once the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, turn off the crockpot and let it sit for an additional 10 minutes to thicken.
- Serve warm, topped with toasted coconut flakes and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Add fresh berries or mango slices if desired.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a thicker pudding, cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond milk or any other non-dairy milk.
- You can also use jasmine rice for a different texture, but reduce the cooking time by 30 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore its creamy texture.
