Ingredients

  • 1 cup arborio rice or white rice
  • 400 ml lite milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 ripe mangoes
  • 1 lime, zested and cut into 6 wedges
  • 3 tablespoons shredded or chipped coconut

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan combine the rice and milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture becomes creamy.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the rice pudding to cool slightly.
  4. Place the shredded coconut in a dry frying pan over medium heat and toast while stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  5. Cut the cheeks from each mango and scoop out the flesh. Slice the mango into thin pieces.
  6. Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls.
  7. Top with mango slices, toasted coconut, lime zest, and serve with a wedge of lime.

Notes

  • Arborio rice creates a creamier texture, but regular white rice works well too.
  • For a richer tropical flavor, replace part of the milk with coconut milk.
  • Add crushed pistachios or almonds for extra crunch.
  • Serve warm or chilled depending on preference.
  • Always add fresh mango and coconut just before serving for the best texture.
