COCONUT, RUM & RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• For the rum & raisin syrup, tip all the ingredients into a large saucepan and heat gently over a low heat for 5 mins, or until the sugar has dissolved and created a syrup and the raisins have plumped up. Tip into a bowl, cover and set aside.
• In the same saucepan (there's no need to clean it) melt the butter over a medium heat until sizzling, then scatter over the rice and toast in the hot butter until the butter is just starting to brown. Stir in the sugar, then pour over the coconut milk, cream and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook gently for 40-45 mins until the rice is tender, adding a splash more cream if it becomes too thick.
• To serve hot, stir a third of the rum & raisin syrup through the pudding and spoon the rest over the top. To serve cold, leave the pudding to cool, then chill in the fridge to firm up so that you can serve it in scoops with the rum & raisin syrup spooned over.

COCONUT RICE PUDDING - ARROZ CON COCO

Steps:

• Place the rice, water, lemon peel, cinnamon sticks, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered until the rice is soft, about 25 minutes or so. Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks.
• Add the coconut milk, whole milk, shredded coconut, and sugar to the rice and cook over very low heat, uncovered, stirring frequently until thick, about 30 min to one hour. At this point the rice should be very sticky with most of the milk absorbed. TIP: Keeping the heat low will reduce the number of stirrings.
• Now, gently stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking over low heat, just long enough to warm the rice completely.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve immediately.
