Chai-Spiced Rice Pudding

Thanks for sharing your experience, Sarah! Cooking times can sometimes vary depending on the type of rice or stovetop. Once the rice has absorbed the water, you can add the coconut milk and other ingredients. At that point, you may find that no additional water or simmering time is needed. Letting the rice sit covered for a few minutes off the heat is indeed a great way to help it absorb more liquid! Glad you found a spice balance that worked for you, and the mango compote sounds like a delicious twist 🙂

Hey Alexandra! Thanks for your feedback, and sorry to hear the rice turned out undercooked. Cooking times can sometimes vary depending on the type of rice or stovetop. If you’re making a smaller portion, increasing the water-to-rice ratio in step one could definitely help. Another tip is to leave the rice covered with a lid for about 5 minutes after taking it off the heat to allow it to soften through to the center of the grain. I appreciate you sharing your experience, and I hope your next batch turns out perfectly! 😊🍚

Aww how precious, Kristi 🥹 we're so giddy reading this!

Hey Alessa, the coconut oil helps add a rich, creamy texture to the rice pudding. You can omit it if you'd prefer a lighter version 😊

Thank you 😊

Hey Maria, yes, you can definitely use leftover rice! For the original recipe, you could use 2 - 2.5 cups of cooked rice and skip step 1. We would suggest using 1.5 - 1.75 cups of coconut milk, depending on the consistency you like best. If you think it's too much coconut milk, boil it a bit longer to cook it off or add some chia seeds to help thicken it. Let us know how it goes if you experiment with it 🤗

Thanks for your advice, I am eating it now! Very comfy recipe. I only had one cup of rice and added 3/4 cups of coconut milk (plus an extra sip later on, after I'd waited too long to start serving 🤭). Also, I only had fresh blueberries but the compote turned out just great with a tbsp of water. No sugar needed! The rice is tasty but the real star for me is the compote - such an amazing solution to making something like jam without having to add sugar! I'll be trying that with all kinds of different fruits next 😍

Yay we're so happy to hear it's being enjoyed, Maria! Thank you for sharing your experience with it 🤗

You guys, I just need to tell you, this compote has turned into an obsession 🤭 I'm now making this with all kinds of frozen fruit plus some vanilla/date sirup and extra chia seeds for a more jam-like consistency and, boy, how happy I am to have (sugar free) peanut butter and jam sandwiches again! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!

Gosh thanks so much for the update, Maria! What delicious modification ideas 🙌
