Mango Lime Mint Rice Pudding

Coconut rice pudding gets a bright finish from ripe mango, lime zest, and thin ribbons of mint.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh mint
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. Simmer rice, coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, and salt, stirring often, until tender and creamy.
  2. Stir in vanilla and loosen with a splash of milk if needed.
  3. Toss mango with lime zest, lime juice, and half the mint.
  4. Spoon pudding into bowls while warm or chilled.
  5. Top with mango, remaining mint, and toasted sesame seeds.

Fresh Mint Tip

Stack mint leaves and slice them thinly just before serving so the ribbons do not darken.
