Banana Coconut Rice Pudding
Like October in New England, this creamy rice pudding can be warm or cold. Be sure to try it with a cup of chai tea.
Ingredients
| 1/2 cup organic low-fat 1% milk | 1 1/2 cups steamed rice |
| 3 tablespoons sugar | 1 cup organic low-fat banana-vanilla yogurt |
| 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, divided | 1 large banana, sliced |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla | 2 teaspoons cinnamon for garnish |
Directions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, sugar, and 1/2 cup of coconut. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Whisk in vanilla. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add cooked rice and pour milk mixture over rice. Fold in yogurt and sliced bananas. Divide rice mixture evenly into 4 custard cups. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Add remaining 1/4 cup of shredded coconut to a small skillet over medium low heat and cook until golden brown, using a small spoon to turn coconut frequently. Top each serving with a dusting of cinnamon and toasted coconut. Makes 4 servings.
