Coconut & Lime Rice Pudding

It's Jan which way that it's rainy as well as chilly as well as I select that. It's Vancouver as well as grayness skies as well as puddles brand upwardly the stuff of this city. But spell this dampness continues, I'm non resigned to existence miserable. I crave comfort as well as crusade to brand the best of things. Like this fragrant rice pudding. Pure cozy.  Lime as well as kokosnoot brand anything bright, as well as thus what amend combo to rhythm out the mid-winter blahs?

Besides tasting awesome, what I honey well-nigh this dish is that it's as well as thus slowly to make. I role the brusk grained arborio rice here, you lot know, the rice used to brand risotto. Its starchy fatty grains makes a prissy thick n' creamy pudding without much come about your end.

The lime zest seems slight, but it perfumes this dish alongside gusto. If you're non also nifty on much lime, only role zest from 1/2 a lime as well as it volition however hold upwardly wonderful. But delight don't larn out off the toasted kokosnoot garnish. It's compaction as well as buttery-ness is as well as thus prissy here.

And did I fifty-fifty postulate to hollo that this dessert is gluten-free as well as vegan? Besides the calorie-free kokosnoot milk from the can, I used kokosnoot milk from the tetra pack instead of skim milk or almond milk (though you lot could your favorite milk - vegan or dairy). It's non rich as well as heavy similar the kokosnoot milk from the tin post away as well as it's also non real coconutty, but it's a prissy vegan milk. You tin post away uncovering it inwards the grocery shop past times the almond milk.

I remember this dish is best eaten warm. It soothes the individual as well as warms the belly inwards the best way. Though I direct maintain to admit, leftovers are lovely to swallow correct out of the fridge. First affair inwards the morning, alongside coffee. Just saying.

This pudding firms upwardly actually good later on sitting or chilling.
