Ingredients
- 110 g pudding rice short-grained white rice
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 bananas chopped into largish chunks
- 1 pint soya milk cows milk is fine too!
- 40 g sugar
- ½ a freshly grated nutmeg or 1tsp of ground nutmeg sounds a lot, but it's not in the slightest OTT
- 25 g butter
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 150/300/gas 2
-
Lightly grease a baking dish that is roughly 8 inch diameter and 3 inches deep.
-
Pop the rice & sugar into the baking dish. Pour the 2 different milks over and stir well. Add the banana pieces evenly. Grate the nutmeg over the top and dot with small pieces of butter.
-
Bake for 1¼ - 1½ hours, stirring every 30 mins or so, until the top has that delicious patchy brown skin, the rice has become swollen and soft, and the whole thing is infused with the scent of coconut & nutmeg. Gorgeous.

PS this is the first time I've made a dairy free rice pudding and I was stoked that it tasted so good, and so reminiscent of childhood pudding. The addition of coconut milk is, in my opinion, totally genius. If I do say so myself :)

What is pudding rice?
Jane Sarchet says
Great question Deborah, that’s what we call short grained white rice in the UK. Apparently you can use any rice that gives a ‘soft, creamy, slightly sticky result’.
Sorry for the confusion.

Now why don’t I live next door so I can sample all these delicious things that come out of your kitchen??? I’m drooling ….. xxxx
Jane Sarchet says
Hehe, my brother lives next door and he quite often sees food on here & can’t understand why it didn’t make it round to his house!
Next time you visit the UK Karen, make sure you include Cornwall on your itinerary. I’ll feed you up :)

YUM! I guess the bananas could be substituted with prunes, dates, figs, anything not too wet that would enhance the sweetness and the unctious texture of the coconutty rice…again YUM! and thanks for this wonderful idea :)
Jane Sarchet says
Oh, now figs would work. Fig, coconut and dark rum. Please drop by again and spark new recipes narf! :)

Hi Jane,
Looks yummy with the banana. I tend to make this with cardamom coz I am a cardamom addict :).
