Ingredients
For the Rice Pudding:
- 1/2 cup Arborio rice or any short-grain rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat for extra creaminess
- 1/4 cup sugar adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Peaches:
- 2 ripe peaches peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In another saucepan, mix the coconut milk, sugar, ground cardamom, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm.
- Combine the Rice and Coconut Mixture: Once the rice is cooked, stir it into the warm coconut mixture. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pudding is creamy and thickened.
- Prepare the Peaches: While the pudding cooks, toss the diced peaches with sugar and cinnamon (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside to macerate for a few minutes.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the warm rice pudding into bowls and top with the macerated peaches. The pudding can also be chilled in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours if a cold dessert is preferred.
