Reviews
Heavenly… Used unsweetened coconut milk as well, and used the leftover cooked rice from the Basil Chicken recipe, which was good, too. My son is also picky, and loved this. So creamy and unusual and great flavor from the lime. I would definitely serve this to company.
Delicious! Made me feel like I was in a tropical place eating coconut rice pudding! I did not have any lime, so I left out the lime peel. Still came out delicious! My son, who’s the biggest pickiest eater, LOVED it. Next time, I will add more sugar, because I like my desserts sweet!
This is quite good, for rice pudding. The lime really adds a great taste. I was very careful to use only the zest and minimize any of the white, bitter part of the lime. I am not sure where Sandra shops, but I want to shop there. This cost me quite a bit more to make than she estimated. It cost me $9.24 to make four servings, not including the rice, brown sugar, and vanilla. She said it cost $4.56 including everything. My expenses were: Coconut milk: $4.24 (2.12 per can). Lime: $.68 Mango: $1.98. Shredded coconut: $2.34. Of course, I did not use all the shredded coconut or all the milk, but I still had to buy it for this recipe. And, as I mentioned, this does not even include the cost of the rice, brown sugar, or vanilla. So this recipe is tasty if you like rice pudding, but it is not as cost effective as I would like.
MrTony’sBBQ, I had the same frustration when I first looked up this recipe, but when I watched the episode over again, you are supposed to use 2 cups of COOKED rice. If you used 2 cups of UNCOOKED rice, then that would have yeilded 6 cups of cooked rice. That is 3 times the amount the recipe calls for, so that explains why your pudding had so little flavor. Also, be sure to use UNSWEETENED coconut milk, otherwise it will be unbelievably sweet! I just got finished making this recipe and it is very good and mild.
It is very simple to make. I used Trader Joe’s Light Unsweetened Coconut Milk so it wasn’t too sweet. It is a very subtle flavor.
Me and my 10 year old daughter mnade this and it was yummy!! A very nice twist on traditional rice pudding. We added just a little bit more sugar to the end product beacuse we wanted it just a bit sweeter. The key is to NOT use sweetened coconut milk or you will have a tooth-numbing-way-too-sweet pudding.
Awful. I used lite coconut milk but I can’t imagine this would change the whole taste. The lime peels made it really bitter. What a waste of time.
Don’t “recips” usually include “amounts” ? My 3×5 recipe cards don’t have wifi or the ability to look up “recips” associated with this recipe…………I REALLY dont think its too much to ask to give even a rounded guestimate of a quantity on a “recips” or for a site of this size and magnitude on cooking to have spell check……
I guessed and used 2 cups uncooked rice, I am assuming it was too much since it wasnt overly sweet or strongly flavored.

Teeth-numbing too sweet. What went wrong?
