Creamy Coconut Rice Pudding

Creamy Coconut Rice Pudding is rich and velvety, with fragrant coconut milk and subtle vanilla notes that make each spoonful comforting and tropical. A gentle tempering step keeps the texture luxuriously smooth, while a chill lets it set to a perfectly spoonable consistency. Serve it as a soothing dessert or a sweet finish to a dinner with a juicy wedge of fresh pineapple.

Creamy Coconut Rice Pudding
  1. 1

    Bring the water and the rice to a boil in a saucepan. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine the rice, coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a pot; cook and stir until it becomes thick and creamy, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Beat the milk and the egg together in a bowl. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture into the milk mixture and beat to warm and temper it. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the rice mixture while beating constantly; cook, stirring nonstop, until the pudding is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the pot from the heat and stir the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut extract into the pudding; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Garnish the pudding with a pineapple wedge, if desired.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
