Rice pudding isn’t something I make so often. Dorie’s Arborio Rice Pudding from BFMHTY back in ’08 was probably the last time I did (I think the base of this recipe was pretty much the same). I do love it though. Here, I played on the tropical hibiscus flavors by subbing out some of the whole milk for coconut milk. The hibiscus syrup and strawberries were nice compliments to the creamy pudding, and I would think other fruit sauces and berries would be equally tasty.

This is possibly my shortest post ever. For the recipe, see Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll.

I love rice pudding 🙂 It’s a nostalgic kind of dessert for me and this is a lovely “grown up” version!

Play on the milk varieties is such a good idea, especially to make the pudding more healthy.

I love the idea of using a bit of coconut milk in this! I first made Dorie’s rice pudding from AMFT for French Fridays. I agree with what Ksenia said above – it’s a delicious, grown up version of a homey favourite.

The coconut milk sub was a great idea – it would have been wonderful with the hibiscus.

I am going to make the pudding this weekend. Coconut milk does sound good. Everyone seems to enjoy the strawberries and syrup. Enjoy your weekend.
