Coconut Rice Pudding with Strawberry-Nectarine Coconut Rice Pudding with Strawberry-Nectarine Compote Compote
Adapted from Southern Living Magazine April 2018 I don’t believe that rice pudding is particularly a southern dish. In fact its origins come from the royalties of England when rice was expensive and could only be enjoyed by the elite. But today, rice puddings are becoming quite popular. This version is equally delicious served warm or chilled.
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked basmati rice 2 cups whole milk 1 cup coconut milk (I use 1 Tablespoon Coconut butter blended with 1 cup water) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Ÿ teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon salt 2/3 cups honey granules 1 ½ cups of heavy cream, divided 1 large egg
Compote 3 cups quartered strawberries (about 1 quart) 2 cups nectarine wedges, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 Tablespoons butter, melted Âź cup honey granules
Finely chopped unsalted pistachios, optional Prepare the pudding: In a large sauté or deep skillet, stir together the cooked rice and whole milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring often, until mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium; stir in prepared coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, honey granules and 1 cup of the heavy cream. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to medium low; cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens, about 20 minutes. Whisk together egg and remaining ½ cup heavy cream. Gradually whisk about ½ cup hot rice mixture into cream mixture; gradually whisk tempered cream mixture into the rest of the rice mixture and cook stirring constantly, until thickened and creamy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
