Creamy Coconut Rice Pudding
I love this time of year, there is something so comforting about wrapping yourself in a blanket, sipping warm tea from a favorite cup and eating a bowl of something with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s mid-September and the leaves are starting to change color, the dog days of Summer are ending and a crisp breeze is in the air. I can’t help but let my mind wander and think about my childhood days when my Grandma Edith would make her home-made rice pudding.
I also love playing around in the kitchen and coming up with new recipes. So, here’s my unique version of baked rice pudding, using ingredients that fit into a healthier lifestyle.
It’s so creamy and delicious, and super simple to make. GIve it a try and let me know what you think!
