    This coconut rice pudding recipe is very easy to make, sweet, creamy and delicious.

    Coconut Rice PuddingPin

    This Arróz con Leche de Coco is a traditional dessert from the department of Chocó in Colombia. The coconut adds a wonderful flavor to classic rice pudding. Serving a homemade dessert is a special treat, not a daily occurrence in my house, so to me, it better be worth the extra calories.

    I added raisins to this recipe, but omit them if you prefer. Top this coconut rice pudding with fresh berries, flaked coconut or dulce de leche.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup rice rinsed
    • 4 cups water
    • Pinch of salt
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 1 can 12 oz of coconut milk
    • ¼ cup cream of coconut
    • 1 can 14 oz sweet condensed milk
    • ½ cup raisins

    Instructions
     

    • Place the rice and the water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes.
    • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the salt and stir well. Cook uncovered for approximately 30 minutes.
    • Reduce the heat to low and add the milk, coconut milk, cream of coconut and condensed milk. Stir with a wooden spoon. Cook for 1 hour, or until the rice pudding thickens to desire consistency.
    • Add the raisins and stir well, remove from heat, and let it cool at room temperature. The consistency should be very creamy. Refrigerate for a least 1 hour or overnight.

      I've been making my mother's recipe for years....never thought to use coconut products in it. This is a triple threat coconut dessert! Condensed milk, the coconut creme AND the coconut milk. A delight, Erica!

      This looks really tasty, though I can see why you recommend only occasionally enjoying it. Coconut milk is so rich!

      Question- To make it dairy free do you think I could just use more coconut milk instead of the whole milk? Or maybe another milk alternative?
