Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover cooked rice

  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Place leftover rice in a sauce pan; add coconut milk over top. Stir in sugar, coconut oil, butter, vanilla, and salt.

  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is hot, about 6 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Be sure to use sticky white rice!

For a thicker pudding, add cornstarch. I used the oil to prevent sticking, you could omit. Honey could be substituted for the sugar as well.
