Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the short grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, skim milk, and artificial sweetener (or sugar if preferred).
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened shredded coconut to the pot.
  6. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  7. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set slightly.
  9. Serve warm in small bowls, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of extra coconut.
