I’m sure I sound like a broken record every time I post a good recipe. “It’s sooo good.” “Try it now.” “It’s da bomb!”
But then, of course I’m going to go on and on about how much I love it. If I’m posting it, it’s because it was awesome. Why on earth would I post a junky, gross-tasting recipe for you guys? I wouldn’t. Although I’ve made a bunch of those gross recipes through the years, I just keep those to myself and only share the gems! So when you hear me go off about how totally awesome a recipe is, know that it’s been tested and loved by me {and/or my family}.
Kinda like this rice pudding recipe that’s awesome.
Ingredients
1/2 cup basmati rice
1 can light coconut milk
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup almonds, chopped and toasted
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup agave nectar, divided
Directions
Add rice, coconut milk, milk, water, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. Mix in raisins, almonds & coconut.
Serve with a drizzle of agave nectar and a few coconut flakes on top.

Hubs can’t drink dairy and we always have vanilla coconut milk in the house. Does anyone think I would have trouble subbing it for the milk and the canned coconut milk, maybe omitting the vanilla extract? This sounds like it would be a great substitute for the never-ending bowels of oatmeal. Dessert for breakfast 😉

That sounds like it would not only work perfectly, but taste delicious. Let us know how it turns out!

1/2 cup of rice but tons of liquid………..just trying to figure out how many servings as part of a breakfast. I need to have enough for 10 1/2-3/4 cup servings.

When you cook rice you use twice as much liquid. Since this is a pudding it will not be as dry as rice usually is. I would try quadrupling the recipe. Best to experiment until you find what works best for you.

I’m making rice pudding for Christmas Eve breakfast but I am out of canned coconut milk so I’m subbing in Coconut Eggnog. I bet it’s going to be delicious! I cannot wait for the smell to waft through the house!
