There is something so comforting about rice pudding!
To make a change I have started using frozen fresh coconut which adds a lovely texture to the pudding, and of course, lots of flavour.
I buy my frozen grated coconut from my local Asian store, a great place to stock up on coconut milk too as well as all my usual spices!
Serves 8, leftovers are yummy hot or cold and work week for in the boys lunch boxes too.
