Ingredients

• 1 cup black rice
• 3 cups water
• 1.5 cups coconut milk
• 0.5 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup coconut flakes (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 cup fresh fruits like mango or berries (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice and water.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Stir in the coconut milk and coconut sugar into the cooked rice.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium and cook the mixture uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 7

Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. The pudding will thicken more as it cools.

Step 8

Serve warm or chilled, topped with coconut flakes and fresh fruit if desired.
