I found these sweet & delicious raspberries at my local farmers’ market grown By Smith’s Acres Farm in CT. Farmer Joe grows the best fruits & veggies! These raspberries are smaller in size from your average grocery store type and pack a ton of sweetness. More rare are the golden variety with their pink blush… these are my favorite! I saw these berries and immediately thought… “on rice pudding!”

Rice Pudding can make you reminisce your childhood, and the safe and warm feeling that (hopefully) comes with it.
I do remember enjoying rice pudding fondly!

You can add so many things to rice pudding, you can jazz it up with spices, add fruit and nuts, but it will always stay a rice pudding! One of my favorite desserts!
Sadly today, convenient grocery store packaged rice puddings contain “natural flavorings” (not natural – chemicals with a fake taste.)

Baked in the oven – it stays creamy inside with a custardy top with a little caramelization.

I’m using coconut milk and 2% milk in the rice pudding for flavor and just the right richness. The taste has a lingering coconut flavor that is not overpowering, and complements the cinnamon and nutmeg.

Baking Rice pudding does not require frequent stirring over the stovetop! As it bakes a layer of custard is created – creamy and delicious!

Instructions

Cook Rice:

  • Add 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup milk to a 2 quart pot and add the rice; stir in. Bring to a boil, cover and cook at a bare simmer for 14 minutes. Rice will be cooked yet still creamy. Do not overcook. Take off the stove. Add the butter; stir to melt in. Let stand 10 minutes.

  • While the rice cooks - to a large bowl add the remaining ingredients: remaining 2/3 cups coconut milk, 1 1/3 cups milk plus eggs through nutmeg.
    Mix well with a whisk.
  • Add this mixture to the rice pot and combine the ingredients with a rubber spatula until well mixed.
  • Butter the 11 x 7 baking pan. Add the rice pudding mixture.
    Bake for 35 minutes in the center of the oven. Pudding should be set -feels firm on top with some golden color on top.

To serve:

  • Cool the rice pudding. Cover and refrigerate. Best served cold or room temperature.
    Spoon Custard Rice Pudding into individual serving glasses (ice cream glasses work great!) Top with raspberries and drizzle with Blackberry Sauce. Garnish with mint leaves and enjoy!
