Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Two 15-ounce cans coconut milk (not lite)
- 5 tablespoons Vanilla Sugar, recipe follows
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 vanilla bean pods
Instructions
- Add the rice, salt, 1 can of coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups water to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook until almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the Vanilla Sugar, orange zest and remaining can of coconut milk to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, stirring regularly, until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Once the mixture is at a simmer, turn off the heat.
- After the rice has cooked for 18 minutes, add the coconut milk-orange zest mixture to the rice and continue to cook over low until the rice is very tender and creamy, an additional 15 minutes.
- Add the sugar to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Slice open the vanilla bean pods and use the back of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the food processor with the sugar and blend for about a minute, until the vanilla beans are evenly distributed. Pour the vanilla sugar into an airtight container and add 1 of the scraped vanilla bean pods.

Sorry to the gal who used 2 cups of sugar! You apparently did not read the recipe correctly. it shows the recipe for the rice pudding and then underneath there is the recipe for the vanilla sugar. they are separate recipes. I love making vanilla sugar! Tried this recipe and it was so easy and very tasty!
You have to watch the video to see only 1/4 cup of vanilla sugar. The text recipe says make 2 cups and pour vanilla sugar into milk , no mention of only 1/4 cup. I used the entire 2 cups
Love this. Not to sweet. I have made it several times and used almond extract one time. It was great. Very creamy and filling. I will make this often.
Delicious – I will be making this often!
can I make this with Basmati rice? the texture might be a little different though.
Best rice pudding recipe ever!!!! Super easy and so decadent !!! Thank you, Valerie!!
Decadent! Perfect for those who want a DF alternative. So creamy and delicious! Will definitely make again!
