Ingredients

• 1 cup black rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
• 0.333 cup maple syrup
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh mango, diced (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the pudding from being too thick.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, add the rinsed black rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 30 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, in a separate small bowl, mix the coconut milk, unsweetened coconut milk beverage, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

After the rice has absorbed most of the water, add the coconut milk mixture to the saucepan with the rice.

Step 6

Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then increase the heat to medium and cook uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 7

Continue cooking until the mixture is creamy, and the rice is tender. If the pudding becomes too thick, add a little more of the coconut milk beverage to reach the desired consistency.

Step 8

Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh diced mango if desired.
